AVIAN BRANDS LAUNCHES CHAMPION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
400 Scholarships For Great Indonesian Generation
Jakarta, October 29, 2018 - Based on BPS survey data announced in July 2018, the open unemployment rate at the secondary education level and above in 2017 was still relatively high. This has become a concern and focus for Avian Brands to continue contributing to the nation's education sector, targeting the young generations of the nation through the “Champion Scholarship Program” for 400 scholarship recipients.
