“…Existing studies for Europe indicate that the availability of information on possible career paths and educational investments tend to improve transitions into the labor market (Saniter et al, 2019;Peter and Zambre, 2017;Boockmann and Nielen, 2016) [Germany], Hoest et al (2013) [Denmark], and Borghans et al (2015) [Netherlands]. As a methodological aspect, which proves important for our study, Borghans et al (2015) show that variation in the take-up of counseling across schools is strong, which the study uses to instrument individual counseling.…”

Career guidance assists students with the school-to-work transition. Based on a survey conducted in secondary schools in Germany, we analyze career guidance activities and how these affect career plans. The take-up of career guidance depends upon the school track attended, and the school and the class setting, while personal characteristics are barely relevant. The effects of counseling depend upon the type of counseling provider. Counseling by the employment agency reduces plans for educational upgrading and increases the probability of applying for an apprenticeship, while the effects of counseling by school counselors works in the opposite direction for lower track students.

“…Informasi tentang pekerjaan dapat membantu siswa dalam membuat keputusan karir yang lebih baik melalui wawasan dan pengetahuan yang diperoleh tentang dunia kerja (Odo, 2015). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa informasi tentang pekerjaan yang dimiliki seseorang berkaitan erat dengan tingkat pencapaian pendidikan dan membantu mereka dalam transisi menuju dunia kerja (Saniter, 2019). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa informasi atau wawasan tentang dunia kerja memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam membuat keputusan terkait dengan karir dan pekerjaan seseorang, khususnya pada kalangan siswa kejuruan yang memang dipersiapkan untuk masuk ke dunia kerja.…”

Abstrak Kesiapan kerja siswa kejuruan di Indonesia menjadi salah satu isu penting yang terus dibahas. Hal tersebut dikarenakan lulusan pendidikan kejuruan tersebut masih menduduki posisi teratas untuk angka pengangguran dibandingkan tingkat pendidikan yang lain. Rendahnya kesiapan kerja di kalangan siswa dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor yang perlu diidentifikasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji secara empiris pengaruh dukungan keluarga terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa kejuruan yang dimediasi oleh wawasan dunia kerja. Untuk itu 115 siswa dipilih melalui teknik cluster random sampling dari 4 SMK yang ada di Jawa Timur, Indonesia. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner untuk mengukur skala dukungan keluarga, wawasan dunia kerja dan kesiapan kerja siswa. Pengujian hipotesis dilakukan dengan analisis jalur pada tingkat signifikansi 0,05. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa dukungan keluarga berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kesiapan kerja siswa, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung melalui wawasan dunia kerja. Dengan demikian, keterlibatan keluarga harus maksimal dalam memberikan dukungan yang dibutuhkan oleh siswa. Di sisi lain, sekolah harus mampu menyediakan informasi pekerjaan yang tepat untuk membantu siswa dalam memperluas wawasan mereka tentang dunia kerja.Kata kunci: kesiapan kerja; dukungan keluarga; wawasan dunia kerja; SMK. AbstractJob readiness of vocational students in Indonesia is one of the important issues that continues to be discussed. This is because vocational education graduates still occupy the top position for unemployment rates compared to other levels of education. The low job readiness among students is influenced by many factors that need to be identified. This study aims to empirically examine the effect of family support on vocational students' job readiness mediated by the world of work insight. For this reason, 115 students were selected through a cluster random sampling technique from 4 vocational schools in East Java, Indonesia. Collecting data using a questionnaire to measure the scale of family support, insight into the world of work and student work readiness. Hypothesis testing was carried out by path analysis at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study show that family support has a significant effect on students' work readiness, both directly and indirectly through insight into the world of work. Thus, family involvement should be maximized in providing the support needed by students. On the other hand, schools must be able to provide appropriate job information to assist students in broadening their horizons about the world of work.Keywords : working readiness; family support; insight into the world of work; SMK.DAFTAR RUJUKANSuswanto, H., Asfani, K., and Wibawa, A.P.
