Partnership Model between Vocational High Schools and the Industry Sectors in East Lombok Regency – Indonesia
Abstract
This study aims to account for the partnership model between SMK Negeri 1 Masbagik and the Business and Industrial World (BIW) in East Lombok Regency. Effective collaborations between vocational education institutions and industries are absolutely vital in the age of fast technological development and more dynamic labor market expectations. Data were gathered by means of a qualitative case study approach comprising interviews, observations, and document studies including school leaders, teachers, and industry partners. The results show that the SMKN 1 Masbagik partnership emphasizes curriculum alignment, internship programs, and the active participation of industry in the learning process under a cooperative and mutualistic model. Notwithstanding these initiatives, issues including insufficient industrial partners, insufficient school facilities, and discrepancies in student discipline continue to be major barriers. The cooperation has improved student ability, job prospects, and school-industry ties, though. The study emphasizes the need of sustainable communication, mutual commitment, and government support to strengthen vocational education by means of industry partnerships. Schools, business partners, and legislators get pragmatic advice to improve the efficacy of such alliances. The results also suggest that more extensive research is required to better grasp the dynamic interaction between vocational schools and industries, especially in areas with little industrial development.
