PERAN PENDIDIKAN VOKASI DALAM PEMBANGUNAN EKONOMI
Abstract: The Contribution of
Vocational Education to Economic Development. One of the challenges lying ahead
is how to improve the contribution of vocational education to economic
development. Several studies confirm that such contribution is very
significant. In the current practices of vocational education, however, there
is still a mismatch among quantitative, qualitative, location, and time requirements
that stem from the world of work. The world of work requires that vocational
education produce graduates that are in line with those four requirements.
Efforts to maximize the contribution of vocational education to economic
development can be undertaken by offering vocational education based on
Indonesian characteristics, strengthening link and match with the world of
work, integrating soft skills into learning, and implementing entrepreneurship
education (small scale enterprise education).
Keywords: vocational
education, economic development, link and match, soft skills, and
entrepreneurship
