In order to be absorbed in the world of work, observers suggest that the Zakat Waqf Study Program adjusts the ability to manage waqf

EKISPEDIA.COM - The study program of zakat and waqf management from now on needs to make adjustments to the needs of the industry, namely the needs of Islamic philanthropic institutions, both amil zakat and nadzir waqf. So that graduates of zakat and waqf management study programs can be absorbed by the amil zakat and nadzir waqf institutions.

This was stated directly by a Sharia Economic Observer, Yusuf Wibisono, who was quoted from the Republika website on Monday (22/8/2022).

"So it is appropriate and should be studied, studied specifically and in depth," said Yusuf to Republika, Monday (22/8/2022).

Furthermore, Yusuf said, it is feared that there will be a tendency, graduates from zakat and waqf management study programs are not widely absorbed by existing zakat and waqf institutions. The case is feared to be the same as the current Islamic finance and Islamic banking study program.

He conveyed, as is known, the alumni of Islamic finance and Islamic banking study programs are far more numerous, and their market share is much larger. But it turns out that the company's absorption capacity for graduates of Islamic finance and Islamic banking study programs is low.

“This may also need to be a lesson for friends in study programs who develop zakat and waqf. Although this is just my initial observation, graduates of this study program tend to have low levels of absorption in the market, so it is necessary to learn from the experience of similar study programs, such as Islamic banking and Islamic finance, which are not absorbed by the market share, "said Yusuf.
