Hopefully, next years open recruitment and selection will be more widely spread to all Bangka Belitung youths so the selection will be more competitive. We do hope so.

PPAN 2014 Candidates

Dear all, 

This year, PCMI Bangka Belitung and DISPORA Propinsi are really proud to see Bangka Belitung youths’ passion in participating PPAN selection of Bangka Belitung 2014. Moreover, during 4 days we had a really great chance to meet great potentials from all regions in Bangka Belitung. In short, we are glad to have those stunning participants in the selection.

 

In this year’s selection, we set many aspects to score such as individual insight, personality, communication, English skill (both written and spoken), Focus group discussion (FGD) and cultural skill as well. Also, we developed some new assessment components especially for group assessment such as post program activity presentation, photo exhibition and group cultural performance. Moreover, during the interview sessions (English skill, personality, post program activity project and commitment) we asked the juries to give us top 2 nominees for each program. 

Here we also would like to let you know that all the team carried out three times review before they finally decided the result of the selection.

In the first review, the team examined the result of general assessments. In this step, they examined whether the top 2 recommended nominees for each program were listed in the short list or not. As the result, 50% of recommended nominees were listed in short list for each program. To make it more accurate, the team carried out the second review.

In the 2^nd review, all the score were distributed and examined based on the programs’ main characteristics because as we have already known that each program requires different characters. For instance, SSEAYP requires higher portion for cultural skill than AIYEP does. Whereas, AIYEP requires higher portion for English skill, etc. So then, the score was tabulated based on specific percentage.

Here is the illustration of the tabulation: 

Candidate X chose SSEAYP and AIYEP.

Candidate X General Score				Others Accumulated score	SSEAYP
		Written test
Cultural	English	SSEAYP	AIYEP		Cultural 100%	English 50%	Written test	Others Accumulated score	Total
100	80	40	60	200	100	40	40	200	380
					AIYEP
					Cultural 50%	English 100%	Written test	Others Accumulated score	Total
					50	80	60	200	390

The table shows that candidate X got higher score in AIYEP (390) than he did in SSEAYP (380) but again the team would consider the higher rank for this candidate. He might be in the 2^nd rank for SSEAYP but in the 4^th rank for AIYEP (even though he got a higher score in AIYEP) so, the team put him in 2^nd rank for SSEAYP candidates and this means that the candidate would be nominated as a runner up in SSEAYP.

After that, the team proceeded to the 3^rd review. In this step, the team combined the result and consulted the psychological test as well as physical test result. If it's needed, the team would confirm some specific things to the candidate regarding the result of the 3^rd review by sms, phone or a face-to-face meeting.

Finally, after such a long and breathtaking process as explained above, we (PCMI and DISPORA Propinsi Bangka Belitung) proudly inform the official result of International Youth Exchange Program Selection (PPAN) of Bangka Belitung 2014.

We proudly announce The top 5 candidates for each program as follows:
