"Dengan jumlah generasi muda yang besar, Indonesia menghadapi tantangan sekaligus peluang untuk meningkatkan kapasitas generasi muda dan memaksimalkan kontribusi mereka terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi negara. Memberdayakan generasi muda dengan keterampilan dan pengetahuan yang sesuai dengan permintaan industri tidak hanya akan menguntungkan sektor swasta tetapi juga masyarakat pada umumnya. Pendidikan vokasi atau kejuruan adalah langkah untuk menghubungkan secara langsung lingkungan sekolah dan tempat kerja dan mempercepat lulusannya untuk bekerja di tahap awal karir mereka. Namun demikian, lembaga pendidikan vokasi yang ada, khususnya pada pendidikan menengah atas, masih perlu ditingkatkan karena tingkat penyerapan tenaga kerja yang rendah dibandingkan dengan lulusan lain dari jalur pendidikan yang lain. Berdasarkan analisis kuantitatif dengan metode entropy balancing dan instrumental variable, dampak sekolah menengah kejuruan terhadap tingkat pekerjaan dan upah lebih besar pada lulusan yang lebih muda dan berkurang pada kelompok usia yang lebih tua. Situasi ini menimbulkan pertanyaan terkait bagaimana memperkuat pendidikan vokasi yang ada sehingga dapat memberikan keterampilan dan pengetahuan kepada lulusan dan mereka mempertahankan keunggulan kompetitif mereka sepanjang karir mereka.

With a large youth population, Indonesia faces both the challenge and the opportunity to increase the youth population's capacity and maximize their contribution to the country's economic growth. Empowering youth with skills and knowledge that match industry demand will benefit not only the private sector but society in general. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is an avenue to directly connect school and workplace environments and accelerate its graduates becoming employed and being productive in the very early stage of their careers. However, existing TVET institutions, especially in upper secondary education, still need to be improved due to their low employment rate compared to other graduates from different educational streams. Based on quantitative analysis using entropy balancing and instrumental variable method, the impact of vocational secondary school on employment and wage levels is bigger in the younger graduates and diminished in the older age group. This situation raises concern about how to strengthen existing TVET institutions so they can provide updated skills and knowledge to their graduates and maintain graduates’ competitive advantage all through their careers."

"This book considers curriculum design and pedagogical practice in pre-vocational education during the last two years of compulsory education. The study focuses on seven European countries (Scotland, Latvia, Poland, Hungary, Germany, Austria, Portugal) and presents an analysis of the curriculum as it relates both to knowledge-based competencies in economics and business and to self- and social competencies. It then discusses the differences between the prescribed and the enacted curriculum as identified by means of a subsequent survey of teachers. The authors conclude with a comparative assessment of each country case study, combined with supranational recommendations."

"This volume comprises thirty individual contributions that together add up to a comprehensive overview of the current situation in vocational education and training, its strengths and weaknesses, and its prospects. VET experts from Canada, the USA, India, China, Japan and Korea, as well as from a number of European countries, focus on their national context and how it fits in to the bigger picture. The contributions combine theoretical discussions from various strands of VET research with evidence from country case studies and examples from current practice."
