Abstract

The shrinkage of employment opportunities due to the rapid development of technology requires responsive vocational education in adjusting graduates’ competencies needed. This research was conducted to describe the availability of Agroindustry vocational schools with relevant food industries based on the regional potential to reduce the gap in graduate competency. The method used is descriptive qualitative. 47 Agroindustry vocational schools spread in 14 regencies in West Java, and 120 food industries spread across 15 regencies. The low percentage of availability of Agroindustry vocational schools and the food industry is not aligned with the potential of the region that has been established. The availability of vocational schools and relevant industries based on location provides opportunities for vocational schools to collaborate and implement link and match programs. Synchronization of the expertise areas of vocational schools with superior potential areas in each province needs to be identified.
