As an effort to improve students’ competencies in the field of poultry farming, the Faculty of Animal Science Universitas Gadjah Mada University (UGM) organized Work Competency Certification (PSKK) 2024 with the Broiler Farm Supervisor scheme from July 4-6, 2024. This certification was attended by 20 students from undergraduate, engineer, and postgraduate (master’s and doctoral) levels.
This certification was held in collaboration with the Indonesian Animal Science Professional Certification Institute (LSP PI) and the Faculty of Animal Science UGM, which is one of the Competency Test Places (TUK). The main objective of this certification is to enhance work competencies and obtain a certificate from the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP), where students undergo a series of exams to be declared competent and receive certification as broiler farm supervisors. The series of exams include a written test on broiler farm materials and their handling, a practical test on broiler farm management, and an interview.
Ir. Tian Jihadhan Wankar, S.Pt., M.Sc., Ph.D., IPP., as the chairman of the event and also the Assessor for Work Competency Certification (PSKK) 2024, highlighted the importance of this certification for students. “This competency certification can provide benefits for students as it can be a valuable asset when they graduate and work, especially in the field of broiler farm management. This certification can also serve as proof that the students are competent in the tested scheme, namely broiler farm supervisors,” he explained.
In addition to Tian, who is also an active lecturer at the Faculty of Animal Science UGM, there were two other lecturers who served as assessors in the implementation of this work competency certification, namely Drh. Bambang Ariyadi, MP., Ph.D. and Dr. Ir. Aji Praba Baskara, S.Pt., IPP.
It is hoped that this certification will be conducted with a broader range of participants and more varied schemes so that students of the Faculty of Animal Science UGM will have certified and diverse competencies.
