Student Company Of The Month

November 2008

PJI would like to congratulate to EMPIRE IV, the Student Company at Madrasah Pembangunan, on receiving the award of the Student Company of the month. The selection of EMPIRE IV is primarily made due to its tremendous achievements in the last half year. One of the achievements it has made is that it has achieved the 3rd place in the Annual Student Company Fair held last June this year in the Plaza Semanggi. The other achievement is that it has become the 4th winner in the Chairman’s Award Competition conducted by PJI in cooperation with PT. Prudential Indonesia on 23 August 2008, enabling it to defeat the other eleven student companies at some high schools in Jakarta and Serang.

In addition to that, it was selected by Kaltim Prima Coal Company as the mere national trading partner in Jakarta with some schools in East Kalimantan. Last but not least, it once successfully did the international trading with a student company in Ohio, Canada. Considering those achievements, PJI is convinced EMPIRE IV is entitled with the award. Congratulations once again!
