Ms. Yulia Ermawati is a graduate of the Chemistry undergraduate program at FSM UNDIP, class of 1998, who completed her studies in 2003. She began her career journey as a laboratory analyst in Quality Control and Research & Development. She then continued her path as a Quality Assurance staff member and eventually earned the trust to serve as Laboratory Head at PT Muara Manggalindo. Thanks to her continuously honed experience and competencies, Ms. Yulia now holds the position of Laboratory Manager at PT Mitralab Buana, an environmental testing and industrial hygiene laboratory accredited by KAN ISO 17025 and recognised by various national institutions.
Her experience during her studies at FSM UNDIP, she says, was a vital starting point. The knowledge and skills she gained from lectures and practical labs supported her early steps into the professional world, particularly in laboratory work. Nevertheless, Ms. Yulia also emphasises the importance of self-development beyond the campus, primarily through technical training, seminars, and competency certifications such as ISO and BNSP, which have become crucial value-added elements in today’s industrial landscape.
She encourages FSM UNDIP students not to rely solely on what is taught in class, but to actively seek new experiences that can strengthen their competitiveness in the job market.
