Meanwhile Deputy Business PT.

Udayana University has a Business Incubator that allows for a lot of collaboration on preparing Unud students to be ready to enter the world of work including those that can also be absorbed in SOEs such as Pawnshops.

Furthermore, the Deputy Business of PT. Pegadaian Area Denpasar 1 said that so far what has been done routinely in previous collaborations is accepting internships from Udayana University, especially from the Faculty of Economics and Business, and also supporting student activities in the form of sponsorship which also aims to prepare students to be able to handle events and have good network.
