<![CDATA[The Kurikulum Merdeka emphasizes school autonomy and engagement with industry needs, encouraging vocational schools (SMK) to develop more adaptive curriculum strategies. This study explores the implementation of an industry-based collaborative curriculum at SMK Yadika Soreang. It aims to examine the curriculum team's organizational structure, collaboration patterns among stakeholders, and strategies for adapting the curriculum to national standards and local industry needs. A qualitative case study method was used, with data collected through semi-structured interviews with key informants, including the Vice Principal for Curriculum, and through analysis of curriculum documents. Results indicate that all teachers play an active role in curriculum planning. The curriculum team serves as a liaison between government policy and school implementation through regular development meetings and revisions that follow national guidelines while allowing for local adaptations. Learning materials are tailored to areas of expertise, such as mechanical engineering and accounting, and supported by internal workshops and digital learning platforms. This strategy aims to produce competent, work-ready graduates who meet industry needs and provide practical insights for other vocational schools to adopt the Kurikulum Merdeka collaboratively and adaptively.
