Abstract

This study aims to: (1) analyze the strategies for implementing career guidance using modeling techniques at SMK Muhammadiyah Kota Cirebon; (2) identify the obstacles encountered in the implementation of career guidance strategies using modeling techniques; and (3) examine the benefits of implementing these strategies for students in career planning. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of the principal, guidance and counseling teachers, and 10 students of SMK Muhammadiyah Kota Cirebon who participated in career guidance services. Data were collected through in-depth interviews to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the strategies for implementing career guidance using modeling techniques. The results indicate that career guidance strategies using modeling techniques are effective in bridging students’ readiness from the school environment to the world of work and professional life in a more mature manner. The obstacles identified include limited time for coordination with industry partners, the need to update practical facilities, and differences in students’ characteristics. To address these challenges, the school has undertaken various efforts, such as strengthening internal coordination, providing individual guidance, and improving facilities that support career guidance services. The benefits of implementing this strategy include increased self-understanding, enhanced career knowledge, improved motivation, and greater readiness among students in planning their future careers.

Abstract

Work readiness is a key competency that vocational high school graduates must possess in order to compete in an increasingly dynamic labor market. However, in practice, many vocational students still experience career confusion, limited career planning, and insufficient understanding of workplace demands. This study aims to describe the role of vocational career guidance in enhancing students’ work readiness at SMK Muhammadiyah Sumowono. The study employed a qualitative descriptive approach involving students, guidance and counseling teachers, and school management as research participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, while data credibility was ensured through source and technique triangulation. Data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that vocational career guidance plays an important role in helping students recognize their potential, understand the world of work, and develop more realistic career plans. Nevertheless, the implementation of career guidance faces several challenges, such as limited service time, varying levels of student motivation, and minimal involvement of industry partners. This study concludes that vocational career guidance has a strategic contribution to improving students’ work readiness and should be strengthened through collaboration among schools, parents, and industry

Abstract

The implementation of Teaching Factory-based edupreneurship in Vocational High Schools (SMK) is an important strategy to prepare graduates who not only have technical competencies but also an entrepreneurial spirit. This study aims to describe the development of edupreneurship through the production unit of the Mechanical Engineering Department in the manufacture of step motors as an industry-based learning tool at SMK Muhammadiyah Kramat Tegal. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of observations of production unit activities, interviews with productive teachers and students, and documentation studies. The data were analysed using an interactive analysis model that included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, with verification through source and technique triangulation. The results showed that the production unit functioned as contextual learning that integrated mechanical engineering competencies with entrepreneurial practices, ranging from production planning, manufacturing processes, quality control, to product marketing. This activity is able to improve students' technical skills, foster independence, responsibility, work discipline, and interest in entrepreneurship. Industry-based learning through production units provides learning experiences that are relevant to the needs of the world of work and industry.

Abstract

Career maturity is a crucial aspect of vocational education, especially for vocational high school (SMK) students who are in the transition phase from school to work. Various studies show that many SMK students still have low levels of career maturity, characterised by unclear career planning, limited career exploration, and difficulties in career decision-making. This condition emphasises the importance of career guidance services in schools. This study aims to analyse the role of career guidance services in improving the career maturity of SMK students. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach to national and international scientific articles published in the last ten years. Data were collected through the Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, and Garuda databases, then analysed using content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that career guidance services contribute positively to improving the career maturity of vocational high school students, particularly in the aspects of career planning, career exploration, decision making, affective readiness, and career adaptation skills. These findings also reveal that the effectiveness of career guidance services is greatly influenced by the quality of implementation, suitability to the characteristics of vocational education, and policy and school environment support

Abstract

Career guidance services play an important role in preparing vocational high school (SMK) students to face the demands of a dynamic and competitive world of work. However, its implementation in SMKs still faces various obstacles, including limited systematic programmes, lack of integration with the curriculum, and suboptimal collaboration with the business and industrial world (DUDI). This study aims to examine strategies for strengthening career guidance services in improving the career readiness of SMK students. The method used is a literature study by analysing various research results and scientific publications relevant to career guidance services, career readiness, and vocational education. The results of the study show that career guidance services can be strengthened through comprehensive programme planning, integration of services with the SMK curriculum, utilisation of media and technology, and strengthening collaboration with parents and DUDI. These strategies contribute positively to improving students' career readiness, both in terms of self-understanding, career planning, and readiness to enter the world of work. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for schools and guidance and counselling practitioners in developing effective and sustainable career guidance services.
