The aspect of relevance becomes an indicator of the success of vocational education. In order for vocational school graduates to be able to compete in the era of technological disruption, Vocational Schools are required to be able to produce graduates who have the alignment of competencies possessed by each graduate with the competencies needed in the world of work. To achieve the relevance of vocational education, the development of an integrated solution model for the preparation of vocational education graduates needs to be based on the need for ICT-assisted career services. In this study, survey design was used to examine the mapping of student/graduate needs, career service managers, and graduate users and development design to design an integrated solution model for the preparation of vocational education graduates. The results of mapping the needs of students/graduates, career service managers, and users are used as the basis for developing an integrated solution model for preparing vocational education graduates. It is hoped that this model can be used to optimize career services for students and vocational school graduates in Indonesia in the era of technological disruption.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to overview the Backpack‐to‐Briefcase project which established a set of prototype career development learning strategies for Australian university career services, with the aim of contributing to their services for supporting students and graduates to make a smoother transition into graduate employment and the world‐of‐work.Design/methodology/approachA case study analysis of the development and implementation of three career development learning interventions is described. These interventions include: employability skills workshops for students; career mentoring for students; and services to small and medium sized employers to support their recruitment and induction of new graduates into their worksites.FindingsThe prototype interventions developed in the project extended the work of the university's Career Service. The interventions were judged as having the capacity to be readily implemented by university career services. A key outcome was the success of the graduate‐induction initiative which engaged small and medium sized employers traditionally unfamiliar with or unable to enter the graduate recruitment market.Originality/valueThis case study highlights the value of university career services' contributions to undergraduate preparation for the world‐of‐work, particularly in regional areas. Furthermore, the case study highlights the importance of inter‐departmental cooperation within the university environment, and the value of university‐industry collaboration toward the goal of improving graduates' transitions into the workforce, particularly in rural and regional areas.

Abstrak: Praktik penyelenggaraan SMK di Indonesia saat ini menunjukkan kelemahan-kelemahan sebagai berikut: menyelenggarakan fungsi tunggal, yaitu menyiapkan siswa untuk bekerja, untuk menjadi karyawan, dan kurang menyiapkan untuk menjadi wirausahawan, kurang cepat tanggap terhadap tuntutan-tuntutan pembangunan ekonomi, lemah keselarasannya dengan dunia kerja, dan tidak ada jaminan untuk memperoleh pekerjaan yang layak. Tekanan-tekanan dan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK sangat banyak, tetapi beberapa hal berikut harus segera ditanggapi, yaitu rencana pembangunan jangka panjang nasional, cetak biru insan Indonesia cerdas dan kompetitif 2025, master plan percepatan dan perluasan pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia, keanekaragaman kebutuhan masyarakat, kemajuan teknologi, dan tuntutan globalisasi. Agar SMK dapat memainkan peran lebih penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi, SMK harus memperluas fungsinya dari fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model yang menyelenggarakan fungsi majemuk yang selaras dengan kemajemukan kebutuhan masyarakat. Transisi dari SMK fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model (fungsi majemuk) memerlukan restrukturisasi dalam kebijakan, perencanaan, penganggaran, kelembagaan, dan sumber daya. Kata Kunci : kelemahan SMK, tekanan dan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK, fungsi tunggal, SMK Model, fungsi majemuk DEVELOPING VOCATIONAL SCHOOL MODEL FOR THE FUTURE Abstract: The current practices of vocational schools in Indonesia mostly show the following weaknesses: offering single function of preparing students for gainful employment, preparing students to become employees and lack of entrepreneurship preparation, slow response to economic development, weak link and match with the world of work, and no guaranttee for graduates to get decent work. The external forces and factors influencing vocational schools are numerous but the followings must be urgently responded: national long range development plan, blue print for national education long range development plan, master plan for accelerating and enlarging national economic development of Indonesia, diversity of society needs particularly the world of work, technological development, and globalization. In order vocational schools to be able to play more important roles in Indonesian economic development, they have to enlarge their functions from solely single function to vocational school model having multiple functions of serving diverse needs of society. The transition from single function to multiple functions requires restructuring policy, planning, budgeting, institutions, and resources required to run vocational school model.

Through media images, colors, and information texts become more clear and interesting. Especially in the field of publications, multimedia has become one of the supporting media in the delivery of effective, and more interesting information in its presentation. From time to time, people's needs for creative, efficient and effective designs are increasing. The development of the world of education is increasingly rapid, leading to the increasing number of facilities and advantages that must be promoted to compete with other schools, especially at the Baidhaul Ahkam Islamic Vocational School foundation. Current problems in the Baidhaul Ahkam Islamic Vocational School, in its promotional strategy, still use less informative designs for new prospective students, making them less interested in seeing Baidhaul Ahkam Islamic Vocational Schools. The research method used is observation, interview and literature study. Through a more attractive and up-to-date design design, it is expected that new students can find out updated information and are interested in attending Baidhaul Ahkam Islamic Vocational School and becoming more widely known to the wider audience.

In the article - "Graduation from higher and vocational school does not always end with employment" – it is discussed the problem of youth unemployment and the reason for this is the incompatibility of the higher and vocational education system in Georgia with the requirements of the labor market. Youth is dominant among the unemployed population of Georgia. They graduate from vocational schools or colleges but do not work according to their professions, it is proved by labor market research, as well as by 2017 survey of the Department of Vocational Education of the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, in their conclusion part it was mentioned 56.2 graduates in employment. The authors of the article mention the demand-labor imbalance in the labor market as the first reason for youth unemployment, and one of the reasons for the lack of knowledge and skills, in the market among young people is the lack of state funding for education. With such small resources, higher and vocational schools find it difficult to hire highly qualified professional teachers, which obviously reduces the quality of teaching. Due to low funding, vocational and higher education institutions (especially in the private sector) make savings mainly on wages. An hourly salary of 5-10 GEL is considered as normal with them. Only the low-qualified teachers come to such payment. The authors consider that almost half of the graduates are unemployed precisely because of their low level of knowledge. The authors consider the test method of knowledge control as the second reason and believes that this method makes it impossible to assess the depth of knowledge of the student. The article ends with a summarizing conclusion. Key words: Employment; Youth unemployment; High education; Vocational education; Labor Market; Demand-supply in the labor market.
