Muhamad Kamaludin

Abstract


The motorcycle automotive industry in West Java is growing rapidly, but there is a gap between the skills of Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the needs of the industry. Certification from the Professional Certification Institution (LSP-P1) can help overcome this gap, but has not been optimized. Collaboration between SMK and LSP-P1 can improve the competitiveness of graduates. This study aims to map the needs of the motorcycle automotive industry for SMK graduates, analyze the LSP-P1 certification scheme and its potential in improving the competitiveness of SMK graduates, develop an ideal cooperation model between SMK and LSP-P1, make strategic recommendations to improve the competitiveness of SMK graduates in West Java. This study uses qualitative research methods, surveys of the motorcycle automotive industry, TBSM Automotive LSP-P1, and SMK Motorcycle Engineering and Business (TBSM) in West Java, interviews with experts in the fields of education and the automotive industry
