Abstract

This study examines the mismatch between graduates of vocational education and the labor requirements of key sectors in South Sumatra Province. Utilizing a combination of the Location Quotient (LQ) and Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) methods, the analysis identifies the leading sectors in South Sumatra as plantation, forestry, mining, paper, warehousing, and railway transportation. These sectors have significant potential and require a skilled workforce, which should be a primary concern for policymakers in vocational education. It is recommended that vocational education programs adapt to industry needs by focusing on curriculum development and providing training that aligns with technological advancements and the specific characteristics of the job market.
