Unveiling the Distinctive Impact of Vocational Schools Link and Match Collaboration with Industries for Holistic Workforce Readiness Yoto, Agus Suyetno, Aji Prasetya Wibawa, Paryono, Achmad Romadin Open Education Studies, 2024 This study examines vocational schools (VS) collaborative ventures, focusing on the VS Center of Excellence and its partnerships with local industries. The research explores how these collaborations shape a skilled workforce by investigating the Link and Match policy’s impact. Specifically studying machining engineering and construction in East Java, the research employs a multi-case qualitative approach to reveal context-specific insights. The study combines qualitative methods like interviews and observations with quantitative techniques such as surveys using a mixed-method approach. The sample comprises internship supervisors from significant industries in East Java, selected through proportionate random sampling. Thematic analysis is used for qualitative data, while descriptive statistics and Likert scale analysis handle quantitative data. The research offers insights into workforce needs by emphasizing technical competencies and soft skills development. It also looks ahead, considering the long-term effects of collaborative initiatives on graduates and industries. The study informs policymakers and educators by identifying challenges and aiming to enhance vocational education strategies. However, it is essential to recognize data collection biases and limitations in generalizability to other locations or sectors, which should be considered when interpreting findings and planning future research.
The role of industry to unlock the potential of the Merdeka curriculum for vocational school Yoto, Marsono, Agus Suyetno, Puteri Ardista Nursisda Mawangi, Achmad Romadin, Paryono Cogent Education, 2024 AbstractThis research focuses on Indonesia’s newly introduced Merdeka (Independent) curriculum for vocational schools (VSs), emphasizing the crucial involvement of the industry in aligning, executing and evaluating the curriculum. The study utilizes a combination of qualitative analysis through a multicase design and quantitative insights using descriptive methodologies. The empirical findings highlight a complex connection between VS and the industry, clarifying the diverse contributions of industrial players. The importance of the industry is initially demonstrated through curriculum synchronization, which includes the submission of competence designs, the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), and the precise alignment of competencies with industry requirements. Afterward, the industry promotes curriculum adoption by cultivating a 5S work culture through seminars, workplace assistance, and reinforcement of essential work character traits. Moreover, the industry’s assessment of the Merdeka curriculum implementation is considered vital, covering areas such as collaboration, education and the quality of work produced. This study enhances curriculum management research by revealing the dynamic connection between vocational education and industry stakeholders. It offers insights into the collaborative and transformational processes that influence vocational education.
