Development of a Technopreneurship-Based Teaching Factory to Prepare Competencies Vocational School Graduates

Vocational high schools (SMK) play a strategic role in producing competent and competitive graduates who meet the needs of industry and the business world. The challenges of globalization and technological developments require learning that is not only oriented towards technical skills but also technology-based entrepreneurship (technopreneurship). Teaching factories (Tefa) are one effort to improve the quality of education in the era of industry 4.0 and 21st-century learning. Teaching factories are the basis for a new model of integration between the academic world and industry. Only 5% of SMK have implemented teaching factories. The research method used a systematic literature review. The results of the study indicate that the development of teaching factories integrated with technopreneurship can create learning experiences and environments in accordance with industrial culture. Technopreneurship-based teaching factories also improve student competencies in both soft and hard skills. This model not only prepares SMK graduates who are ready to work but also encourages the development of technopreneurship. The integration of teaching factories and technopreneurship is expected to strengthen the role of SMK in increasing innovation in vocational education.
