The Development of Professional Competency Certification Assessment Model for Junior Mobile Programmers

Indonesia’s Vision 2045 is an essential basis to determine the direction of the country’s development in line with four main pillars which include the development of human resources (HR). This involves producing quality, healthy, intelligent, adaptive, innovative, and skilled human resources with character. The achievement of this goal requires the improvement of the competence and professional certification quality towards ensuring HR are reliable and competent in different fields such as the vocational area which involves Informatics Engineering (IT). Therefore, this research was conducted based on the gap observed in HR which is indicated by a lower proportion of Indonesian workers in the IT field compared to other ASEAN countries. It was also observed that the assessment process and results of the Junior Mobile programmer scheme by the Professional Certification Institute (LSP) for Digital Technology have not been optimally tested. This is indicated by the fact that the assessment activities are being conducted without the full implementation of a centralized and systematic technology-based system, thereby causing problems in the remote assessment process. Moreover, professional associations, academia, and industry were not involved in designing a tested and reliable assessment model. I this research was conducted from March 2022 to December 2023 with the trial subjects from the Digital Talent Scholarship (DTS) training program, Vocational School Graduate Academy (VSGA) of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics. There were 40 sessions which consist of 20 for the experimental class and 20 for the control class. Furthermore, the data collection instruments included questionnaires, documentation, interview guides, observations, and competency tests while descriptive and quantitative analyses were conducted through the I'ken V and factor analysis tests using the LISREL and SPSS applications.

STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING COMPETENT YOUTHS IN INTEGRATED AGRICULTURE THROUGH LOCAL WISDOM

In addition to meeting the criteria for sustainable agricultural development, this system has a significant positive impact because it is organically based and developed/directed based on local potential (local resources). Warmadewa University offered a solution to the concept of integrated agricultural conservation starting from livestock and fisheries activities to post-harvest processing and encourage an entrepreneurial spirit in the younger generation. The engineering provided was an efficient technology resulting from research from professional agricultural experts that has been published in various journals. Among them are the development of organic cultivation and diversification using the SNT (System Nutrient Tank) method for exclusive vegetables, super local breed chicken farming in accordance with national poultry standards, fisheries with the concept of aquaponics (hydroponic system and poly culture system) and post-harvest processing of agricultural, livestock and fishery products, with the concept of food processing supporting local wisdom, all of which were integrated and with the concept of zero waste. The method used in this activity were delivering material, training, practice and mentoring to young people who are members of the partner, DUDI Tamiang Bali Mandiri Foundation in the Agro Learning Center (ALC) group. These youth were given integrated agricultural knowledge as well as fisheries and animal husbandry and the processing of agricultural products with the concept of "zero waste" based on Tri Hita Karana (Balinese local wisdom). There were 5 activities in this program. The output of Unwar's Matching Fund activities with the Industrial World was a young generation who are competent and have competency certificates from the Professional Certification Institute through the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) for 8 people, and integrated agricultural training certificates for 25 people, so they are ready to be independent or work competent in agriculture. Other outputs were Activity Books and Standard Operation Procedure Books, IPRs, Modules, Product Launches, News in the Bali Post Newspaper, Product Exhibitions, Video activities, each targeted at one achievement target.

Application of Certification Management Information Systems at LSP Engineering Hospitality Indonesia

One of the problems that exist in the Hospitality Engineering Indonesia Professional Certification Institute is in terms of administration management which still uses conventional data and is inefficient in time, effort and cost in filling out the APL form and also the frequent loss of participant competency certificate archives because there is no specific system for managing data certification.

DESIGN OF WEB-BASED INFROMATION SYSTEM FOR THE BUNG HATTA UNIVERSITY PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATION INSTITUTE

Professional certification is an effort to recognize a person's competence by the required work competency standards. Bung Hatta University Professional Certification Institute (LSP) is an agency implementing competency certification activities that have received a license from the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) to certify students from various fields of science and professions at Bung Hatta University. Bung Hatta University LSP has the status of the first party LSP educational institutions. The registration process for certification at the Bung Hatta University LSP is still done manually by filling in several paper forms. This is considered ineffective considering the current technological advances. By developing a website-based information system, this can be overcome. The purpose of designing a website-based information system is to produce an information system that can assist the certification process and can be accessed by any relevant user anytime and anywhere. This information system was developed using the waterfall method. This method has several stages, namely the needs analysis, design, implementation, and testing stage. The design of this information system used Unified Modeling Language (UML) and implemented using the Yii2 framework as a PHP framework and MySQL as a Database Management System (DBMS). The design of this information system resulted in a web-based Information System for Bung Hatta University LSP, which focused on the initial administrative process.

Also, future studies are expected to be able to prepare better test instruments and proportional test times to get more accurate competency measurements. Furthermore, this study is expected for Vocational Schools to prioritize constructivism-based learning processes in order to obtain more optimal student competencies. Meanwhile, for policymakers, it is expected to develop policies that can maximize the competency and employability skills of vocational students. Specifically, this research can be used by SMK teachers majoring in Accounting in Indonesia to measure the accounting competence of their students to minimize unemployment. This research can also be an input for researchers and competency assessors of the Professional Certification Institute (LSP) in Indonesia to determine appropriate competency standards for junior-level accounting specialist technicians. Novelty: This study is one of the very few studies investigating competence and employability skills altogether and their impact on work readiness in Indonesia cases.
