<![CDATA[The misalignment between vocational education and industry needs remains a major challenge in Indonesia’s vocational education system. Data shows high unemployment rates among vocational high school (SMK) graduates, reflecting the gap between their competencies and industry needs. This study aims to develop WebGIS, a web-based geographic information system, to optimize the relationship and fit between SMK Agribusiness Agricultural Product Processing (APHP) and the food industry in West Java. The WebGIS was developed using the waterfall model, comprising four stages: needs analysis, system design, implementation, and testing. The mapping integrates data from 47 SMKs and 105 food industries in West Java. Usability testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) showed an acceptance rate categorized as "acceptable" and an adjective rating categorized as "good." The developed WebGIS provides real-time geographic visualization of vocational schools and industry locations, along with detailed competency profiles for both entities. The findings indicate that this WebGIS effectively provides measurable information to support decision-making in aligning vocational high school programs with industry needs. Further research is recommended to incorporate predictive analytics for industry demand and graduate tracking systems.Kata kunci: WebGIS, Link and match, SMK, industri, sistem informasi geografis]]>
