The research employed a qualitative approach with in-depth data collection through interviews, observation, and documentation. Background: The PKL program faces significant challenges in bridging the gap between school learning and industry demands. Purpose: To comprehensively evaluate the PKL program across all CIPP dimensions. Methods: Qualitative research with purposive sampling of 8 informants, including the principal, teachers, students, and industry partners. Results: (1) Context: The program has strong legal foundations aligned with the school's vision and local tourism potential; (2) Input: Student selection is systematic, and DUDI partnerships are formalized through MoU, though teacher competency development and budget allocation need improvement; (3) Process: Implementation runs systematically with hybrid supervision, though geographic distance presents challenges; (4) Product: PKL significantly improves student competencies by 70-80%, with graduate absorption rates of 42-50% in the hospitality industry and a competency exam pass rate of 85-90%. Conclusions: The PKL program is effective in preparing hospitality graduates, though continuous improvement in teacher quality, DUDI partnerships, and monitoring systems is needed.]]>
