Abstract

The development of soft skills remains a critical challenge in vocational education, as the curriculum often prioritises technical competencies while neglecting systematic integration of interpersonal skills. This study aims to develop and evaluate the Peer-Engaged Project Application Model (PePA), a project-based learning framework designed to enhance communication, teamwork, and problem-solving through structured peer engagement. Employing a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the ADDIE model, the research was conducted in the D4 Mechanical Engineering Program at Yogyakarta State University. The PePA model was tested on a group of 15 students in the Fabrication Construction Practices course. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, structured observations, and semi-structured interviews, and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, along with qualitative techniques. The implementation of PePA resulted in improved performance in soft skills, with average scores increasing from 3.03 to 3.65 (communication), 3.20 to 3.78 (teamwork), and 3.13 to 3.70 (problem-solving). The model was also rated as “very valid” by expert evaluators, with an average validation score ranging from 3.58 to 3.85. These findings suggest that PePA is a feasible and effective learning model for strengthening vocational students' soft skills in alignment with industry expectations. The model has potential applicability beyond engineering education and supports policy recommendations for integrating soft skills into vocational curricula.

Abstract

The demands of the workplace in the Industry 4.0 era require vocational education to produce graduates who not only master technical skills but also possess non-technical (or "soft") skills, such as communication, teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving. This study aims to identify and analyze effective institutional practices in developing soft skills in vocational higher education. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, using semi-structured interviews with department heads, study program heads, and lecturers at two State polytechnics in Indonesia. Thematic analysis reveals that soft skills development is implemented through four primary strategies: student orientation, internal training, external training with industry, and integration into the curriculum. These four strategies form a holistic institutional model to strengthen students' personal and professional readiness for the workplace. The research findings emphasize the importance of systematic management of soft skills development to produce vocational graduates who are technically competent, possess strong character, and are highly competitive.
