study using the Countenance Model. The research populationcomprised all
teachers and principals of VHSs, all the industrial practicuminstructors, and
all Year III VHS students of the building engineering expertiseprogram in
Makassar City. The sample was selected using the proportionatestratified random
sampling technique. The results showed that VHS students wereready to carry out
the industrial practicum. This was supported by their knowledge, basic skills
and ability and socialization by the schools. VHSs wereready to implement the
industrial practicum. Large- and middle-scale industries were ready to
implement the industrial practicum. However, only 75% of smallscale industries
were ready to do so. Cooperation between industries, especially small ones, and
vocational schools was less satisfactory. A few middle- and largescaleindustries,
on the other hand, were quite good. The students’ activities in the industrial
practicum ran well because they were supported by their ability to adaptthemselves
with the industrial environment. Their basic practical skills were poor. The
teachers were also good, indicated by the intensity of their visits to theindustries
during the industrial practicum. Such visits improved the students’ motivation
and supported them. The instructors also performed the activities well, especially
in guiding the students during the industrial practicum. The instructors continuously
provided guidance to the students before accomplishing assignmentsand checked
the results. The final assessment by the instructors included students’ attendance,
discipline, motivation, work quality, initiative, creativity, attitudes, and performance.
In the final achievement, most students were in the very satisfactory category
and only a few were in the moderate category.
