At the 132nd Graduation Ceremony, the ITS Rector also symbolically presented competency certificates from the ITS Professional Certification Institute (LSP) to the graduates. Regarding competitiveness, Bambang explained that ITS consistently strives to ensure its graduates possess not only knowledge but also skills relevant to industry needs. Therefore, since 2017, ITS has established the LSP P1 as a platform for students to validate their competencies.

By 2025, LSP P1 ITS had demonstrated its crucial role. This was because LSP P1 ITS was able to provide 14 certification schemes aligned with industry demands. Furthermore, LSP P1 ITS was supported by 72 active, professional and trusted assessors and had successfully issued over 100 competency certificates, proving graduates’ career readiness.

Bambang emphasized that this competency certificate is more than just a piece of paper. It’s tangible proof that ITS graduates possess not only theoretical knowledge but also nationally recognized practical skills. “This is your passport to enter the workforce with your head held high and full of confidence,” he reminded.

Concluding his remarks, Bambang expressed his hope that ITS graduates would be able to bring honor to their alma mater and put the knowledge they have acquired into practice. “Hopefully, the knowledge gained at ITS will be a valuable resource for their future endeavors for the nation and humanity,” the ITS Professor of Mechanical Engineering concluded hopefully.

The graduates solemnly followed the 132nd ITS Graduation procession at the ITS Sepuluh Nopember Building.

The 132nd ITS Graduation Ceremony also demonstrates ITS’s contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the provision of quality and inclusive higher education; SDG 5 (Gender Equality) through equal opportunities to achieve for all; and SDG 10 (Reducing Inequality) through the KIP-K or Bidikmisi scholarships.

Graduates are also prepared to support SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) with relevant competencies in the workplace, while strengthening SDG 17 (Partnerships to Achieve the Goals) through the presence of international graduates who reflect ITS’s global network. (ITS Public Relations)
