THE IMPLEMENTATION OF INDUSTRIAL WORK CULTUREIN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AS AN EFFORT TO ENHANCE PRACTICAL COMPETENCE AND STUDENT READINESSTO ENTER THE INDUSTRIAL WORLD :SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) plays a role in preparing a
competent and adaptive workforce in the era of globalization. However, the
graduates produced have not fully met the qualifications of the workforce as
required by the industrial world, therefore one of the strategies in order to improve
the quality of graduates is to instill an industrial work culture in the education
process to improve their skills so as to increase their competitiveness. This study
aims to systematically examine the application of industrial work culture in
vocational education as a strategy to improve practical competence and readiness
of students to enter the world of work. Through a systematic literature review
approach, this study examines both national and international literature relevant to
the integration of industrial work culture values with the Vocational High School
(SMK) environment. Based on the results of the literature review, industrial work
culture has several elements such as the application of 5R/5S (Ringkas, Rapi, Resik,
Rawat and Rajin), discipline, responsibility, cooperation (teamwork) can make a
positive contribution to strengthening students' character and technical skills. In
addition, internship programs also provide contextualized learning experiences that
strengthen graduates' work readiness. These findings emphasize the importance of
collaboration between educational institutions, industry, and policy makers in
designing learning strategies based on industrial work culture to produce vocational
graduates who are adaptive and competent amid the dynamic needs of the global
industry.
