Abstract

The growing demand for skilled workers in Indonesia’s textile and garment industry highlights the importance of foundational competencies in vocational training. This study explored the role of literacy and numeracy skills in supporting garment production competencies among trainees in the Fashion Technology program at Balai Besar Pelatihan Vokasi dan Produktivitas Semarang. A qualitative approach was employed involving 15 trainees who completed literacy, numeracy, and competency assessments, supported by semi-structured interviews with three trainees representing different ability levels and two instructors. Assessment results showed that 53% of trainees demonstrated high literacy skills, 47% showed high numeracy skills, and 53% achieved high garment production competency. Interview findings indicated that literacy skills supported trainees’ ability to understand technical terminology, interpret work instructions, and follow production procedures, while numeracy skills facilitated accurate measurements, calculations, and technical decision-making. The findings suggest that literacy and numeracy function as important enabling factors in competency development. This study contributes to vocational education literature by providing empirical evidence on how foundational skills are embedded in nonformal fashion training and support workforce preparation in the garment industry.

Abstract

Industry 5.0 requires vocational graduates to possess not only technical skills but also multidimensional work readiness. However, evidence regarding the integration of blended learning and experiential learning in vocational fashion technology training remains limited. This study examined the implementation of the Blended–Kolb Experiential Learning model and its association with trainees’ work readiness at BBPVP Semarang. A quantitative pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed with 16 trainees. Data were collected through cognitive tests, psychomotor and affective observations, and a work-readiness questionnaire. The results showed improvements in cognitive (47.81–89.69), psychomotor (37.18–94.25), affective (33.00–91.75), and work-readiness scores (39.53–92.38). N-Gain values ranged from 0.81 to 0.91, while the paired-sample t-test indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < .001). The findings suggest that the model was associated with positive improvements in trainees’ competencies and work-readiness indicators. The study supports the integration of digital learning, experiential activities, reflection, and project-based practice in vocational education.
