Abstract

The industrial revolution 4.0 has affected the labor market and the skills needed by the workforce. Vocational education, especially Vocational Schools, plays an important role in realizing graduates as prospective workers who are skilled and able to respond to the demands of industry 4.0. This paper aims to provide an overview of the competency map that Vocational High School (SMK) graduates must possess in responding to the demands of industry 4.0. The method used in the presentation of this paper is the literature review method from various journals published in 2017-2021. The results of the study indicate that the application of industrial technology 4.0 requires the technical education curriculum to change, resulting in new competencies both in terms of knowledge and skills that can respond to industry 4.0. In addition to skills in their area of expertise, SMK graduates must have the ability and knowledge of ICT. Meanwhile, from the aspect of soft skills, there are three main competencies that must be attached to SMK graduates, namely methodological, social, and personality competencies. This description of the knowledge and skills that must be possessed by SMK graduates is expected to provide recommendations for future curriculum changes.
