According to the Central Statistics Agency data, the number of unemployed in August 2020 reached 9.77 million, with Vocational High School (SMK) graduates contributing 13.55% of the total. The Ministry of Education and Culture has revitalized SMK through an internship program in the industry for link and match program. However, in its implementation, it was found a problem that the learning curriculum in schools did not match the needs of the industry. This study uses qualitative research with open-end questions through in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with respondents, i.e., teachers, students, communities majoring in engineering in Semarang, Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bandung, Surabaya, and Malang. In addition, the purposive sampling method was used to determine respondents from the ICT field majoring in Software Engineering, Animation, Visual Communication Design, and Multimedia. The result is recommendations for local adaptive curriculum models for vocational high schools (SMK). This model would adjust the competencies needed to ensure the competencies of SMK graduates meet industry needs. The local adaptive curriculum includes continuous development, implementation, and assessment processes through collaboration between government, vocational schools, and industry.
