Abstract

Indonesia as a developing country has many problems in terms of providing a trained and professional workforce according to industry needs. For this reason, the Government developed the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution, to increase the supply of skilled labor for the job market and industry needs. The problem is that TVET graduates still do not meet industrial needs, which is indicated by a large number of unemployed graduates. This article aims to uncover the key factors that cause the lack of link and match between TVET and industry needs. The method used is a qualitative analysis of the phenomenon of link and match TVET and industry in Indonesia. The analysis is based on a literature review on the implementation of TVET in various countries and interviews with relevant stakeholders. The focus of the discussion includes 3 points: 1) How does TVET education currently meet the labor requirements needed by industry? (2) What factors need to be considered in increasing the link and match between the world of education, especially TVET and industry needs, (3) How to improve Link and Match between TVET and the industry. The result showed that there were 9 factors which became the main key influencing the link and match between TVET and industry needs. For this reason, efforts are needed to improve the relevance and suitability of TVET with the industry to improve the quality of graduates.
