This research aims to depict level of domination of technical skills and employability skills student at 4-year and 3-year program in Indonesian Vocational High School (VHS) expertise package of mechanical engineering. Research applies quantitative approach of non-experiment with survey method applies questionnaire as a means of data collector. Research population is last year students on both program expertise in mechanical engineering at VHS in Makassar and Surabaya consisted of 290 students. One hundred and fifty-eight students are randomly chosen as research participants. The participants fill employability skills questionnaire. They are also observed in their workshop to investigate their technical skills. The research data is analysed using descriptive statistics. The results shows that technical skills and employability skills of mechanical engineering students at 4-year program is higher than those of 3-year program. The level of technical skills of the students of 3-year program is at low category while those of 4-year program gives higher category.
