Abstract

The Central Statistics Agency (2019) noted that the open unemployment rate in Indonesia in February 2019 was as much as 5.01 percent of the Indonesian labor force participation rate, and it turned out that the most significant contribution was graduates of Vocational High Schools (VHS). Why can this level of open unemployment occur? Why do VHS graduates become the most significant contributors? Is the work readiness of VHS graduates still low? Does career guidance for students affect work readiness? This study aims to determine the extent to which career guidance programs can improve the work readiness of vocational students in the era of industrial revolution 4.0. This research was conducted through a critical study of the kinds of literature and the results of relevant research and continued through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The study found that there was a significant positive effect between career guidance programs and work readiness of vocational students.
