Abstract

This study aims to offer a work-integrated learning model through the Edu Makloon concept as an innovative sustainable partnership model between vocational schools and the poultry industry that focuses on developing students' technical skills in poultry farming management and forming an entrepreneurial attitude. In this model, students will gain theoretical knowledge and practical field experience that is relevant to the world of work. This study was conducted in four state vocational schools in Indonesia. Data were collected through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with stakeholders. The findings of the study indicate that the Edu Makloon sustainable partnership concept is to build trust, fairness, honesty, and integrity or both parties. The programs carried out based on this sustainable partnership concept not only add learning elements to students but also guide them to have an entrepreneurial spirit. This partnership concept is in line with the curriculum and can be applied in vocational schools to improve students' skills and readiness to enter the world of work, as well as form an entrepreneurial attitude to be able to work in the poultry farming sector.
