Abstract

Qualification of graduates of vocational teacher candidates is a major issue in increasing graduates who are ready to work. Vocational teacher education is expected to have core skills: learning, writing, comunication, and numeracy. For vocational education each core skill has leveling, from level 1 to level 5. each competency level has a variable support, context, text complexity, and complexity task[1]. Graduates of vocational education must also have the ability to communicate their skills in society, work environment and educational environment. Vocational education in high education in Indonesia generally does not have a clear standard level of skills of graduates and vocational education graduates do not describe the level of skills acquired during college, each graduate is considered the same skill level, whereas in fact graduates with the same study program are not necessarily the same abilities . Other problems in the employment field vary greatly in the workforce needs, as a result graduates are not absorbed entirely and graduates who are not absorbed are considered incompetent in entering the workforce. these conditions illustrate that there is still a disparity in vocational education in Indonesia and there is still an educational gap with the need for labor in the industryTo overcome this problem, this paper propose a framework or concept of standard skill levels for graduates in vocational education. This framework or concept of this skill standard can be used as a reference to determine the skills of each prospective graduate, and graduates do not have to always have the same level of skill, and the coplexity task can be different.
