Requirement analysis of work competence of vocational graduates in heavy equipment industry

Abstract

Engineering of heavy equipment as one of the competencies of skills developed in Vocational High School (SMK) should be able to refer to the standard needs of the industry. This study aims to (1) Identify the work competence of the heavy appliances graduation based on SKKNI, LSP profession certification scheme and heavy equipment industry standard; (2) To know the relevance of the curriculum of high school voctional of heavy equipment technology (productive) work subject to industry standard based on SKKNI and professional certification scheme. This research uses qualitative approach, from SMK and heavy equipment industry. Data collection using observation method, interview, study of document and triangulation. Observation is done to see the learning process in school and work process in industry. Interviews in schools aim to gather information about learning processes in SMK, interviews at industry to gather information of the heavy equipment engineering work standards. Documents studied are curriculum SMK of the heavy equipment engineering, SKKNI and professional certification scheme. The result of data analysis concludes that the competence of the heavy equipment engineering graduate based on SKKNI and professional certification institution is at the level II for machine engine mechanic. Heavy-duty hydraulic mechanical work is located on the hydraulic mechanical junior heavy equipment (Level II ) . Engine subjects and heavy equipment units accommodate SKKNI mechanical engine of heavy equipment of 44.4%. The subjects of powertrain and undercarriage of heavy equipment accommodate SKKNI mechanical engine of heavy equipment of 33.3%. The subjects of electrical systems and machine controls accommodate work competence on SKKNI mechanical engine of heavy equipment 33.3%. Hydraulic heavy equipment subjects accommodate the work competence of SKKNI heavy equipment hydraulic mechanics by 60%.
