LSP Unisa Yogyakarta Towards Establishment: Improving Graduate Competencies

Universitas `Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta is one step closer to establishing a Professional Certification Agency (LSP). A full assessment process from the National Board for Professional Certification (BNSP) was conducted at Baroroh Baried Hall on Friday (17/1/2025). This assessment is a crucial stage for Unisa to obtain an official license as an LSP.

BNSP assigned Prasetyo as an assessor in charge of carrying out the assessment and assessment of competency tests objectively at Unisa Yogyakarta. The presence of this BNSP assessor marks a strong commitment from Unisa to improve the quality of its graduates through nationally recognized competency certification.

Vice Rector IV of Unisa Yogyakarta, M. Ali Imron, M.Fis, in his speech emphasized the importance of certification as proof of one’s competence in carrying out his profession. “Certification is important evidence that a person is competent and worthy of working in their professional field. We hope that this assessment process will run smoothly and Unisa can achieve recommendations for the establishment of LSP with the four schemes that have been submitted. Thus, we can develop more certification schemes in the future,” said Imron.

The submission of these four certification schemes shows Unisa’s seriousness in preparing graduates who are ready to work and highly competitive. The establishment of the LSP on campus is expected to facilitate UNISA students and graduates to obtain competency certification relevant to their scientific fields.

Prasetyo, an assessor from BNSP, explained that his job is to assist BNSP in granting licenses to institutions that propose the establishment of LSPs. “The establishment of this certification body will greatly help prepare graduates who are work-ready and competent. With competency certification, graduates not only have a diploma, but also proof of recognition of their abilities. This will increase the confidence of the industry or companies that will hire them,” Prasetyo said.

The full assessment process from BNSP is an important milestone for UNISA Yogyakarta in realizing its vision as a university that produces excellent and competitive graduates. Hopefully, the establishment of the LSP at UNISA can be realized soon and provide great benefits for the entire academic community and the wider community.
