Abstract

High graduate unemployment rates from Indonesian vocational high schools highlight a critical mismatch between educational competencies and industry demands. This article investigates the implementation phase of an integrated industrial class program within the Hospitality Skills Program at SMK Negeri 60 Jakarta, designed to address this gap. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were gathered via interviews, observations, and document analysis, focusing on program execution. Findings reveal a "week release" system alternating students between school and partner hotels, involving systematic dispatch, industry induction, and departmental placements for active participation in operational tasks. School-led monitoring and support were integral. This immersive implementation significantly enhanced students' technical and interpersonal skills. However, challenges included student adaptation, logistical issues, and aligning school-industry expectations. The study concludes that successful industrial class implementation, vital for mitigating the competency gap, hinges on strong school-industry collaboration, robust support, and adaptive management, offering insights for effective work-integrated vocational learning.
