Abstract: MBKM is a program initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture to improve the quality of vocational education in Indonesia. The program aims to allow vocational students to learn independently, innovate, and be creative. However, vocational education institutions face several challenges, including curriculum development and the quality of graduates, students, and teachers. To address these issues, qualitative research was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of MBKM in producing competitive vocational graduates ready to enter the workforce. The study involved direct observation of a vocational college, visual analysis, literature review, and interviews. The research was conducted at the ATI Dewantara Palopo campus, where the MBKM program was implemented. The findings revealed that all graduates who completed the MBKM curriculum were accepted to work at their respective internship sites. The first batch of graduates who completed the program in August 2022, including four Electronics Engineering and two Automotive Mechanical Engineering graduates, were accepted at their internship sites. Most internship students received job offers from their respective internship sites. The study concluded that implementing MBKM has effectively produced competitive vocational graduates who are well-equipped to enter the workforce. Therefore, it recommends that vocational education institutions adopt the MBKM program to improve the quality of education and graduates.
