Competing in the World of Work


Prepare skilled workers and ready to work was not easy. Secondary vocational
schools (SMK) ambition is to answer the challenge. But to achieve it, CMS must hold
private to increase quality.
The availability of employment with the amount of labor is not balanced. CMS as
one of the educational institution to try to bridge the two. With a wide range of
subjects that are available, CMS believed capable to contribute in preparing
graduates ready for work.
This is not a mere fantasy. Vocational graduates proved to be better prepared for
work. Data issued by the National Education Ministry in 2007 showed that
approximately 42% have vocational graduates find jobs. As many as 15% continue
their education while working and 12% who continue their education without
working disambi. Percentage of work is certainly greater if compared with the
general high school graduates (high school).
In 2007 only about 32% are working and 17% are working while in college, while
high school graduates continue their education around 31%. This shows that
vocational competence in entering the working world better than high school
graduates.
The fact that increasingly seem to make vocational education a favorite destination
after high school. Students choose vocational interest was growing. In contrast to
what happened in the previous decade, when CMS often get a negative rating.
Some regard it as expensive school or vocational graduates do not have the chance
to college.
Now the people have a different take. Proven ratio of students who choose to
continue their education after taking vocational secondary education continues to
increase. Current ratio of vocational and high school students throughout Indonesia
is almost the same, namely 46:54.
As recognized by the Director of Development of Vocational Education Ministry Joko

Sutrisno. According to him, in the last three years the public interest to enter the
CMS increased significantly. He told the 2005 academic year? 2006 the ratio of SMKSMA is only 30:70.
This phenomenon occurs because people's perceptions and expectations of a good
CMS. "We always deliver what and how the CMS actually. We also hope that, with a
better understanding of the CMS, the public can make your favorite CMS as a
continuing education institution," said Joko.
Government through the Ministry of National Education also gave more attention to
the CMS. MONE ads served in various mass media about the CMS, for example.
Minister of National Education (Education Minister) Bambang Sudibyo when visiting
the Student Competency Competition (BLM) National Level SMK-17 and SMK
Creative Exhibition 2009 in Jakarta (21 / 5) said that the government through the
Education Ministry is committed to improving the quality of vocational students in
all Indonesia. Commitment raised for vocational graduates can be absorbed in
various jobs and reduce unemployment.
Form of the government's commitment to increase the number of CMS in the
country since 2004. According to the Minister Bambang, the ratio of initial
comparison of CMS with the high school at 30:70 and end of the year 2008 the ratio
became 47:53 ratio. The Minister was optimistic that if the program is run
consistently, then the ratio later in 2014 the number of vocational high school and
became 2:1. In other words each have one high school in one area, then there must
be two CMS.
Consequences of the increased interest is also the importance of completeness of
the available infrastructure. Among them, the government is doing to improve the
quality vocational services to provide new classrooms and new schools.
Procurement and repair of equipment in the CMS.
In 2009, for the CMS prepared to Rp2 trillion of funds. Compare this with the high
school who only Rp1, 5 trillion. Vocational development funds is higher than the new
high school was established in the last two years. To attract people into the CMS,
various departments have been prepared. Various departments were prepared to
form oriented graduates who are ready to work.
Unlike the public high schools that provide limited options. At CMS, the various
departments can be chosen students. There are tourism groups, businesses,
agriculture, shipping, technology and industry, business and management, fisheries,
chemicals, and others.
The presence of CMS was also felt closer to the community, especially the existing
departments in the school contribute to the area. 2 SMK Subang, West Java, for

example. Schools that have obtained ISO 14001:2004 certificate optimize natural
resources there. These schools have an advantage in the field of organic agriculture
and fortunately these schools also received support from farmers in surrounding
areas.
To improve the quality and the work of the students, CMS works with colleges that
have the same commitment. For instance Leather Technology Academy in
Yogyakarta became a partner in producing handicrafts CMS is indeed one of the
tourist area advantages.
There are other higher education institutions that become partners of cooperation
CMS, call eg Chemical Analyst Academy (AKA) Bogor, Vocational Education and
Development Center (VEDC) Malang, and others. Of course they are partnering with
CMS type.
MONE has made cooperation vocational and similar institutions. Vocational colleges
tourism with tourism, for example. So also with agriculture and others. The
existence of inter-educational cooperation has considered a large enough role.
Making a full CMS appeal to students. Especially if they are oriented to work after
school there.
