Abstract

The job training program is one of the efforts or solutions to create productive and competitive human resources, besides that job training is one solution to reduce unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic (Aditya et al., 2015). On the other hand, he stated that this job training program is an activity to effectively improve job skill competencies in order to face the demographic bonus in Indonesia (Maryati, 2015) and at the same time help overcome the increase in unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic (Noviyanti et al., 2020). The problem of unemployment in Indonesia is not only caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, but also because the competence of job seekers does not match the needs of the job market. This condition can be analyzed as a matter of the relevance of the material being studied with the work competencies required by the business world and industry. Competency- based job training is a training process carried out to achieve work competencies in accordance with work competency standards set by the Indonesian government. The need for a competent workforce is stimulated by external factors, demands for competitiveness and technological advances as well as changes in the dynamics of the business and industrial world. Therefore, training programs aimed at developing competency-based training require a competency-based curriculum and syllabus structure. The problem of relevance between education and job training with employment or the gap (mismatch) is an old problem that has not been completely resolved. This gap or discrepancy indicates the inefficient and effective management of the training program (Jubaedah, 2016). There is a mismatch of educational institutions in preparing the competence of graduates who have qualifications that are not in accordance with the reality of the demands of the industrial world which is advancing very rapidly (Disas, 2018). Thus, this condition requires an implementation strategy for job training managers to prepare human resources in accordance with the demands of competency needs in the business and industrial world. One of the main strategic components to overcome the problem of the relevance of the training program to the needs of work competencies is the preparation of a competency-based job training curriculum with a link and match approach. The curriculum is considered very ideal and highly reliable as an alternative solution to bridge the gap in the relevance of job training programs to the business world and industry, creating linkages between suppliers of their workforce and their users (supply driven) (Muslih, 2014). Thus, the competency-based job training curriculum with a link and match approach implies that the curriculum prepared by the job training management agency is currently oriented towards developing the competencies of trainees that are appropriate or commensurate with the competency needs of the workforce needed by the business world and industry, (Wonggo , 2017). In addition, professional work competencies must also be in accordance with the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards. The Government of the Republic of Indonesia stipulates the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration, Number 8 of 2014 concerning Guidelines for the Implementation of Competency-Based Training (Kemennakertrans, 2014). Efforts to achieve work competency standards, the training curriculum has a central and very strategic position in a training process (Bolli et al., 2018). The curriculum designed to pay attention to link and match can be understood that there is a link and match between job training management institutions and progress in work organizations, so that they are effective in achieving the goal, namely reducing unemployment because the competence of job training graduates is ready to work according to the needs of the business world and industry (Cahyanti et al. , 2018). The job training curriculum with a link and match approach prepares graduate competencies in accordance with industry demand or needs, overcoming unemployment (Awasthi & Shrivastav, 2017), (Disas, 2018) and (Olazaran et al., 2019) Based on the explanation above, this book chapter presents the form of competency-based job training curriculum implementation activities with a link and match approach in order to achieve professional work competencies according to the needs of industrial human resources produced by job training graduates (U. P. T Rahargo & Jannah, 2020). The presentation is focused on the meaning of the curriculum as an activity, namely all activities of the instructor and the trainees in the learning process using certain learning methods and techniques and facilitated with training materials, tools and infrastructure, so as to effectively achieve the training objectives. There are a variety of effective innovative learning to achieve the competence of training graduates (Dn et al., n.d.), (Malan et al., 2016).
