PENGARUH PENGALAMAN PRAKTIK KERJA INDUSTRI ASPEK NON TEKNIS TERHADAP KESIAPAN KERJA SISWA TEKNIK PEMESINAN SMK YPM 1 TAMAN

THE INFLUENCE OF INDUSTRIAL WORK PRACTICE EXPERIENCE IN NON-TECHNICAL ASPECTS ON THE WORK READINESS OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDENTS OF SMK YPM 1 TAMAN

Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan merupakan suatu salah satu lembaga pendidikan formal penghasil sumber daya manusia yang menyiapkan kualitas lulusan pada suatu bidang pekerjaan tertentu. Kualitas lulusan dari Sekolah Menengah Kejuruan bergantung kepada kesiapan kerja siswa. Kesiapan kerja siswa perlu diperhatikan dengan seksama, salah satunya melalui praktik kerja industri. Kurangnya pemahaman terkait kesiapan kerja bagi siswa mangakibatkan pengalaman yang didapatkan selama menempuh pendidikan menjadi kurang.

Adapun tujuan penelitian ini meliputi: 1) menganalisis kesiapan kerja siswa teknik pemesinan SMK YPM 1 Taman setelah melaksanakan praktik kerja industri; 2) menganalisis pengaruh pengalaman praktik kerja industri aspek non teknis terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa teknik pemesinan SMK YPM 1 Taman.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dengan desain ex-post facto. Teknik analisis data penelitian ini menggunakan teknik pengujian regresi sederhana. Hasil analisis data penelitian menunjukan bahwa kesiapan kerja siswa teknik pemesinan SMK YPM 1 Taman setelah melaksanakan praktik kerja industri termasuk dalam kriteria cukup berdasarkan nilai rata-rata 90. Disamping itu, pengaruh pengalaman praktik kerja industri aspek non teknis terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa teknik pemesinan SMK YPM 1 Taman memiliki dampak yang positif dan signifikan terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa sebesar 58,1%.

Kata kunci: pengalaman praktik kerja industri aspek non teknis, kesiapan kerja, siswa.

Vocational High School is one of the formal educational institutions that produces human resources that prepare the quality of graduates in a particular field of work. The quality of graduates from Vocational High Schools depends on the work readiness of students. Student work readiness needs to be considered carefully, one of which is through industrial work practices. Lack of understanding related to work readiness for students results in less experience gained during education.

The objectives of this study include: 1) analyzing the work readiness of mechanical engineering students at SMK YPM 1 Taman after carrying out industrial work practices; 2) analyzing the effect of non-technical aspects of industrial work practice experience on the work readiness of mechanical engineering students at SMK YPM 1 Taman.

This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach method with an ex-post facto design. The data analysis technique for this study used a simple regression testing technique. The results of the research data analysis showed that the work readiness of mechanical engineering students of SMK YPM 1 Taman after carrying out industrial work practices was included in the sufficient criteria based on an average value of 90. In addition, the influence of non-technical aspects of industrial work practice experience on the work readiness of mechanical engineering students of SMK YPM 1 Taman had a positive and significant impact on student work readiness of 58.1%.

Keywords: non-technical aspects of industrial work practice experience, work readiness, students.
