About US
Primary Mission
The primary mission of PT ForSS is two-fold:
- To assist the larger universities in Makassar to (a) further develop their international streams (which deliver tuition in English); and (b) attract more foreign students to enroll in their international courses (both undergraduate and postgraduate); and
- To provide support for the welfare of such students once they arrive in Makassar, especially with regard to accommodation and social mingling,
The number of such foreign students is currently small, and it will take a year or two of marketing effort before more foreign students enroll at universities in Makassar and require the services that PT ForSS plans to provide.
In the meantime, PT ForSS is engaged in secondary activities i.e.
- Computer Software Training.
- Promotion and delivery of solar panel systems for houses and commercial buildings.
- Construction using light-weight materials i.e. factory-made blocks for walls and floor slabs using pumice stone (batu apung) as aggregate.
