Higher education in the era of globalization and industrial revolution requires educational institutions to produce graduates who are not only academically competent but also possess skills relevant to the needs of the labor market. Outcome Based Education (OBE) emerges as a learning approach focused on measurable learning outcomes aligned with industrial demands. This study aims to analyze the reconstruction of OBE-based educational management in strengthening soft skills and improving the link and match between education and the workforce. The research employed a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data were collected from scientific journals, books, and relevant educational policy documents. The findings indicate that the implementation of OBE improves the quality of educational management through outcome-based curriculum planning, strengthening collaboration with industries, and developing soft skills such as communication, leadership, teamwork, creativity, and critical thinking. Furthermore, OBE implementation promotes synchronization between labor market demands and higher education learning processes. Link and match strategies are implemented through internships, industrial partnerships, project-based learning, and the involvement of practitioners in teaching activities. Therefore, the reconstruction of OBE-based educational management can serve as an effective solution to enhance graduate competitiveness and adaptability in the modern workforce environment.
