Abstract

The challenges with vocational education are that graduates are not prepared to work because they do not have the competencies required by the business industry. The graduates from vocational high school have a high unemployment rate because the curriculum is not in line with the needs of the business industry and also graduates standards are quite low. The research aimed to find a solution to these problems. One of the solutions that could be explored was by implementing an integrated learning curriculum model in vocational education. Adaptive curriculum policy is a curriculum that is modified and adapted when necessary, and each educational unit is allowed to innovate. The research method used was a systematic literature review on journals from the last ten years relating to adaptive curriculum and vocational education. The result showed that learning with an integrated curriculum model explored the greatest potential of teachers and students to innovate and improve the quality of learning independently. This promotes the development of working opportunities in the business and industrial sectors, creating high-quality of vocational school graduates with a high degree of skills and characters to become professional workers that are ready to compete in the global era and also creating confident graduates who have the entrepreneurial capacity.

Abstract

The essence and types of workplace adaptation as a choice of professional activities performed by vocational high school graduates are more closely related to the school learning system and employability skills. Researchers conducted a systematic literature review to investigate various sources of information on vocational high school graduates' workplace adaptation. A high degree of initial knowledge and skills, an interest in new organizations and professions, and, in the long run, possessing the appropriate character qualities and psychological qualities impact the effectiveness of workplace adaptation. The success of workplace adaptation is determined by a high level of initial knowledge and skills, an interest in new organizations and jobs, and, in the future, having the necessary character traits and psychological characteristics. Timely assistance from colleagues, supervisors, and managers, as well as the ability to anticipate difficulties and respond to situations promptly. The adaptation of the workplace for vocational high school graduates is strongly intertwined with the implementation of the stages and roles of student vocational career guidance. The authors focus on the creation of a framework that vocational high school graduates can use to prepare them for the workplace, beginning with the preparation, search, evaluation, negotiation, and ending with starting and improving jobs as a source of income. This framework is strengthened by increasing skills, specifically soft skills as the fundamental skills required by job seekers.
