Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effect of implementing the Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, specifically focusing on its influence on the labor market outcomes of university graduates. It addresses the critical need to comprehensively assess whether the expanded university curriculum enabled by MBKM leads to favorable employment outcomes, while also anticipating potential challenges such as educational mismatch. The results indicated that participation in non-teacher education programs and the specific type of MBKM program did not significantly affect the likelihood of employment within six months. Additionally, the percentage of job interview invitations received out of the total number of applications sent showed a positive but not statistically significant effect on employment status. Conversely, continuing education had a significant negative impact on the likelihood of being employed within six months, suggesting that graduates who continue their studies immediately after graduation are less likely to enter the workforce during this period.
