The Regional Research and Innovation Center of the Regional Development Planning Agency and the Communication, Informatics, and Statistics Agency of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government conducted a survey titled "Link and Match of Vocational High School Alumni with the World of Work" in 2024.
The results showed that 319 out of 569 respondents reported getting their first job in line with their educational background or field of expertise studied during school.
"This number is equivalent to 56.06% of the total respondents who immediately or at least have worked after graduating from Vocational High School," explained the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
However, the number of respondents from each major was not evenly distributed. For example, there were 332 alumni who pursued business and management majors, with 66.9% of them working in their field.
Meanwhile, only 1 alumnus pursued a maritime field during school. However, because they worked in their field, the percentage became 100%.
Time to Employment
In the same survey, 23% of respondents chose to attend Vocational High School with the hope of having an earlier opportunity to get a job.
Some of these expectations aligned with reality. This was evident from 569 people, or 50.9% of the total respondents who had at least worked, where 60.6% of them secured their first and second jobs within less than one month.
According to the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, if only the first job is considered, 36.38% of respondents found employment in less than one month.
"The majority, 218 people or 38.31% of working respondents, found employment within 1-3 months after graduation," said the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.
The online survey, conducted via Jaksurvei, took place from March to June 2024, using a quantitative method, and involved 1,117 respondents who were Vocational High School alumni in Jakarta, graduating between 2021-2023.
The age range of respondents was between 18-25 years. Besides the DKI Jakarta area, there were also respondents residing in the Bodetabek and outside Jabodetabek regions.
