BANDUNG, UNIKOM – In an effort to strengthen the quality of human resources and ensure that the competency standards of educational personnel align with industry demands and national regulations, Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM), through its Directorate of General Administration, organized a National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) Training and Certification program on Saturday, February 21, 2026. The event was conducted online via Zoom Meeting. The training was attended by 39 educational staff members, comprising directorate staff, finance personnel, and representatives from study program secretariats, as part of the institution’s strategy to establish competency-based professional governance.
The program commenced with an orientation session outlining the structure of the training and certification process. During this session, participants received comprehensive briefings on occupational competency standards, the scope of the certification scheme, and the technical procedures of the assessment. The training referred to standards established by the Badan Nasional Sertifikasi Profesi (BNSP), an independent body authorized to implement professional competency certification in Indonesia. Through this process, participants were prepared to meet measurable competency indicators in accordance with the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI). As a follow-up to the preparatory stage, the competency examination was conducted on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This assessment phase determined certification eligibility, during which participants were objectively evaluated by certified competency assessors based on their chosen certification scheme.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Agus Riyanto, S.T., M.T., CSBA., as Vice Rector II for Resources emphasized in his opening remarks, that the greatest investment of an educational institution lies not merely in infrastructure, but in the quality of its human resources. He stated that the program represents a strategic step in fostering UNIKOM’s work culture of Professionalism, Integrity, Quality, IT, and Excellence (PIQIE). He encouraged participants to engage seriously in the training, actively participate in discussions, and utilize the opportunity as momentum for self-development and performance improvement. He further expressed his expectation that UNIKOM’s educational staff, particularly those in human resources and finance, would gain a comprehensive understanding of nationally applicable competency standards and enhance both their technical and managerial capacities in accordance with institutional, directorate, and study program needs.
In line with this vision, the Director of General Administration, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Adeh Ratna Komala, S.E., M.Si., CERA., conveyed her hope that the training and certification program would not only provide strategic benefits for the institution but also serve as a sustainable platform for competency development and the enhancement of professionalism among UNIKOM’s human resources.
Meanwhile, Dr. Sri Lestari Prasilowati, M.A., serving as a BNSP Assessor, expressed her appreciation for the collaboration with UNIKOM, which is widely recognized as a leading institution. As a member of the Supervisory Board of ADPM-SDM, she affirmed their commitment to ensuring that the training was conducted optimally so that participants would gain a strong foundation to face the competency examination. By integrating training materials with participants’ practical experience in human resources and financial administration, she noted, the program aimed to strengthen professionalism and generate authentic, sustainable evidence of competency. She also conveyed gratitude for the trust extended by UNIKOM’s leadership and encouraged participants to engage actively and interactively throughout the program.
Through this training and competency assessment initiative, UNIKOM reaffirms its commitment to developing internal competencies as a foundation for institutional strengthening, while supporting its vision of becoming a distinguished, professional, and competitive university at both national and global levels.

According to Prof. Umi, PPK ORMAWA is not just a funding competition, but also a strategic learning space for students to hone their academic, leadership, and social sensitivity skills. In addition, Prof. Umi also emphasized that competition at the national level is very tight, so it requires sincerity, discipline, and solid collaboration between faculty advisors and Ormawa. “What we should be proud of is not only when the proposal is funded, but also the process of struggle, the innovations produced, and the real impact felt by the community and the development of students,” she said.
Meanwhile, UNIKOM Director of Student Affairs, Andrias Darmayadi, Ph.D., said that 2026 will be the fourth year of the PPK ORMAWA program since it began in 2022.

He further explained that each year UNIKOM has demonstrated positive progress. Although funding was not secured in the previous year, the submitted proposals successfully passed the selection stage, indicating an improvement in quality. He therefore encouraged all student organizations to optimize their time and potential to reach the funding stage this year. He also stressed the importance of collaboration between Student Associations (Himpunan Mahasiswa/Hima) and Student Activity Units (UKM), which have been mapped according to their respective capacities. Such synergy is expected to produce comprehensive and applicable proposals under the guidance of competent academic advisors.
The session continued with a presentation by the PPK ORMAWA Coordinator, Dr. Supriyati, who elaborated on the background, primary objectives, and regulatory framework of the 2026 PPK ORMAWA. The program constitutes a form of student organization development facilitated by the Directorate of Student Affairs (Belmawa) and higher education institutions, implemented through community service and empowerment initiatives.
Dr. Supriyati explained that PPK ORMAWA aims to enhance the institutional capacity of student organizations, develop students’ hard and soft skills in an integrated manner, and foster tangible contributions toward the advancement of villages or urban communities in line with selected themes. The program also serves as a platform for cultivating transformational leaders capable of delivering solutions to various societal challenges.
In 2026, several policy adjustments have been introduced. The number of topic options has been streamlined from 13 to 8 strategic themes. In addition, funding per sub-proposal has been adjusted from Rp 35,000,000 in the previous year to Rp 30,000,000 this year.

According to him, the student period is a strategic moment to develop personal capacity through various positive activities such as committees, competitions, training, and other self-development programs. All of these activities are expected to be reported through the Student Activity Assessment System (SPAK) as part of a competency development record, which will become one of the requirements for final project registration. He further emphasized that this policy is not intended to burden students, but rather represents the institution’s effort to encourage balanced growth in hard skills and soft skills. Learning, he added, does not only take place in the classroom, but also through organizational experience and student activities.
