Vocational Education Revitalization Policy, Strategic Decision MakingAbstract
Vocational education is one of the important pillars in preparing competent and work-ready human resources, especially in facing the challenges of the industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0. This policy not only emphasizes strengthening learning infrastructure, but also on synergy between vocational education institutions and the business world/industrial world (DUDI). This study aims to analyze the implementation of the vocational education revitalization policy at BLK SMK Negeri 1 Purwakarta and assess its implications for the strategic decision-making process at the institutional level. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through direct observation, interviews with schools and industry partners, and documentation studies of formal institutional documents. The results of the study show that BLK SMK Negeri 1 Purwakarta has implemented most of the elements of the revitalization policy consistently. The availability of SWOT analysis documents, RKAT, and the active involvement of industry partners are the main strengths in implementing the program. However, several challenges such as the limited availability of the latest practical tools and the need for continuous HR training are still important notes in efforts to improve the program in the future. This finding underlines the importance of continuous monitoring and evaluation in overseeing the implementation of vocational policies at the education unit level. A strong commitment from school leaders, support from regional policies, and broader DUDI involvement are needed so that the revitalization of vocational education does not stop at the administrative level, but truly contributes to improving the quality of graduates who are adaptive, productive, and highly competitive
