Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find job competency requirements in the construction services industry for graduates of Construction and Property Engineering (TKP) Vocational Schools in Malang City. The development of the construction service industry is currently very rapid, marked by infrastructure development in various regions in Indonesia, so that it requires a lot of workers in the construction sector. The existence of a large number of labour needs provides good opportunities for graduates of the Vocational School in the Construction and Property Engineering expertise program. Graduates from TKP have opportunities that are very diverse, ranging from image interpreters, estimators, surveyors, admins and so forth. However, many graduates do not meet the work requirements of industrial construction services. The importance of this research is to synchronise the competency needs in the DU/DI construction services with the formation of competencies in schools, through learning activities in schools. This research is a survey witha quantitative approach. Data collection techniques using questionnaires were then analysed using a descriptive statistical method. The findings of this research can be used by Vocational Schools in preparing their students through vocational subjects and field experiences that are able to provide insights which are in line with developments in the field today. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
