Abstract

Tracer study which is a form of survey to LSP Unesa which organizes competency certificates that have strategic value for the development of higher education. The results of this tracer study activity can be used to evaluate the LSP that provides competency certificates to students. To find out the competencies possessed by alumni and their application in the business/industry world, LSP needs to conduct graduate tracking or tracer study. The purpose of the tracer study here is to obtain information about the distribution of graduates, graduate activities, positions and roles held by graduates in society, the industrial world, or related certificates. The research method used in this graduate tracking is descriptive quantitative through the distribution of questionnaires. As a Professional Certification Institution that has received a license from the National Professional Certification Agency since November 16, 2015, the task of the Surabaya State University Professional Certification Institution (LSP Unesa) is to carry out student competency tests in the Unesa environment. LSP UNESA which has a scope of Engineering, Beauty, Accounting, and Psychology with the support of professional associations, industries, and institutions in each of these fields understands the need for professional workers very well. Currently, there are approximately 15 competency test schemes at LSP Unesa, while the number of Unesa graduates who have competency certificates in 2023 is 63 people, each of whom has a certificate according to the competency test scheme at the LSP. Information data related to graduates with competency certificates in 2023 who already have jobs and the length of the waiting period to get a job is still not available. Therefore, the results of a tracer study are also needed to support this research. This research was conducted quantitatively using a validated questionnaire to obtain appropriate data. The results of the questionnaire were then processed and analyzed. The questionnaire instrument was taken online via an online-based Google form, which makes it easier for researchers without having to visit potential respondents. This data analysis technique is by means of data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results obtained from this study include 74.87% of competency certificate holders have obtained jobs that are in accordance with their fields while the remaining 25.13% chose jobs that are not in accordance with their certification fields.
