Students graduating from University of Jember will be provided with an SKPI (Surat Keterangan Pendamping Ijazah) in addition to a Surat Keterangan Lulus (SKL), diplomas and transcripts. SKPI is an official statement issued by a tertiary institution which contains information about the academic achievements or qualifications of graduates with degrees (Kemenristekdikti, 2015). SKPI is also stated in the Decree (SK) of the Chancellor of the University of Jember which is basically a record of students while studying on campus. With the SKPI will greatly help stakeholders to get an overview of students who have any competencies beyond the competencies stated in the diploma. Faculties through Study Programs as the spearhead of implementing education on campus make designs or work program activities to increase student competence and can be poured into the SKPI. Continuous coordination and collaboration with stakeholders must be carried out.
Several programs or work activities that can support SKPI:
1. Training related to Leadership, Entrepreneurship, and Survival. Community Service Activities and Thematic Real Work Lectures (KKN).
