Industrial Chemical Engineering Assisment Center Successfully Conducted Witness for 2 Certification Schemes Directly Observed by BNSP Assessor

Semarang, July 5, 2025 — The Professional Certification Institute (LSP) of the Vocational School of Diponegoro University (Undip) held a witness event for all certification schemes added to its scope, including two certification schemes for the Industrial Chemical Engineering study program. This witness activity is part of the efforts to ensure the quality and relevance of education in the field of chemical engineering technology, which aligns with the latest industry developments.

The two schemes submitted for the witness activity this time are:

1. Biodiesel Production Cluster Scheme

2. Production Management Cluster Scheme in Chemical Operations and Processes Based on Agro-Technology

Biodiesel Production Cluster Scheme
This scheme aims to certify skilled workers in the field of biodiesel production. With the growth of the renewable energy industry, particularly biodiesel, this certification is expected to enhance the quality of a competent workforce ready to work in the renewable energy sector and support the development of the green economy in Indonesia.

Biodiesel production using plant-based materials or used oils processed into environmentally friendly fuel is highly relevant to the market’s increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly products. Through this certification scheme, professionals in this field will receive nationally recognized competency acknowledgment.

Production Management Cluster Scheme in Chemical Operations and Processes Based on Agro-Technology
This scheme is designed to certify professionals with the ability to manage and optimize production processes in chemical operations and processes based on agro-technology. As the demand for efficient and sustainable agricultural and agro-industrial products increases, this scheme is crucial to ensure that the workforce in this sector possesses the skills required by industry standards.

The Industrial Chemical Engineering study program at the Vocational School of Diponegoro University has involved various stakeholders to ensure that this certification scheme is relevant to industry needs and can enhance the competitiveness of graduates in the job market. With this witness activity, it is expected that the certification process will follow the procedures set by LSP and produce competent, ready-to-use workers in the related industrial sectors.

This witness activity is part of the evaluation and verification process of certification carried out by LSP. The hope is that this activity can be a concrete step in producing a workforce with high competence in the field of chemical engineering, especially in the biodiesel production and agro-based chemical process management sectors. This also represents Diponegoro University’s contribution to creating qualified human resources, ready to compete globally, and support the sustainable industrial development in Indonesia.

Through this witness activity, LSP Vocational School Undip also strengthens collaboration with various industries and related sectors to ensure that the proposed certification schemes are always relevant to technological advancements and the labor market’s needs.

The Professional Certification Institute (LSP) of the Vocational School of Diponegoro University is committed to producing qualified professionals in various fields, including industrial chemical engineering. LSP serves to implement work competency certification that is relevant to industry needs and supports the development of quality human resources.
