Abstract

The increasing number of job seekers of vocational school graduates in the last three years is caused by the mismatch between graduates' competencies and the needs of the industry. This study analyzed the collaboration needs of vocational schools and industries in the implementation of internship program covering these following aspects: (1) mapping and alignment of student competencies; (2) monitoring the internship program; and (3) evaluation/ competency test/ certification of the internship results. Data collection was conducted on vocational schools in technology and engineering, business and management, and tourism. The results showed that aspects of collaboration: (1) mapping and alignment of student competencies were categorized as high (really important), but only 56% can be implemented, and 44% cannot be implemented; (2) monitoring the implementation of apprenticeship was included in the high category, but only 49.5% can be implemented, and 50.5% cannot be implemented; (3) evaluation/ competency testing/ certification results of apprenticeship were included in the high category, but only 37.6% can be implemented, and 62.4% cannot be implemented. The three aspects of internship on the collaboration between Vocational Schools and the industries were categorized as really necessary, but only 47.7% can be implemented, and 52.3% cannot be implemented.
