Abstract

Vocational high school (SMK) graduates' absorption in the industry is one of the main concerns to be discussed in Indonesia. The government has set up several initiatives to ensure the bigger number of employment opportunity for the graduates who are ready to work. One of the initiatives fully supported by the central government is the apprenticeship program which has been started in 2016. However, in February 2022, the SMK graduates stood as the biggest contributor of unemployed individuals with 10.38%. This study aims to analyze the impact of the apprenticeship program to the manager's intention to hire SMK graduates in Indonesia. The respondents in this study were the 102 employees who have experience in recruiting new employees and working at Kawasan Industri MM2100. This is a quantitative research study using a non-probability purposive sampling method where the respondents filled in the questionnaire in May 2023. The data were processed with the partial least square equation model (PLS-SEM). The test's findings suggest that attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), perceived behavioral control (PBC), and apprenticeship program (AO) have a positive influence on the intention to hire SMK graduates. This study gives insight to the managers about what can be done differently to improve the apprenticeship program in the company and hire the SMK graduates. The limitation of this study lies in the limited scope of data and area. Further research should be conducted with bigger scope.
