The Department of Spatial Planning and Land Management holds a regular meeting to determine an activity that will be carried out for the benefit of the PTRP study program. The upcoming meeting will discuss the preparation for the competency test for the PTRP students, especially the 2019 cohort. The certification of students’ competency test aims to recognize their abilities and skills in a specific field, particularly in the field of land management. The competency test is conducted after the students complete their formal education and meet certain requirements.
The certification of this competency test is in collaboration with the Central Java Association of Planning Experts (Ikatan Ahli Perencana Jawa Tengah). In a meeting between the PTRP study program and the IAP Jawa Tengah, they discussed the timing of the competency test to ensure that it does not interfere with the students’ schedules, and determined the speakers who will act as examiners in the student competency certification. One of the lecturers suggested that the examination team should consist of experts who specialize in the field of land management. The competency test certification is scheduled to take place on May 20-21, 2023.
The certification of the competency test for students can provide benefits for the students themselves, such as increasing their competitiveness in the job market, boosting their motivation and confidence, and strengthening their credibility and reputation.
