- Abstract
Agricultural’s graduate works in a bank, a graduate majoring in economics became a journalist, and a law graduate into a credit analyst; this fact leads us to the question of what causes a gap between the world of higher education and the labor market. Rapid changes in the working world as a result of globalization and revolution in the field of information technology, and science, have demanded anticipation and evaluation of the competencies needed by the world of work. Evaluation is also important so that there is no gap between the education world, specifically higher education world, the working world and the society’s needs. Higher education as part of the national education system has a strategic role in educating the life of the nation and improving its competitiveness in facing globalization in all fields. Hence there is curriculum in university that has to meet this new challenge. It must always be ensured that universities have relevance curriculum which are periodically updated in accordance with the current state. In this context Ministry of research, Technology, and Higher Education has stated that tracer study is a significant step to address this new challenge.
