STRATEGI PENINGKATAN KESIAPAN KERJA LULUSAN PERGURUAN TINGGI DI ERA PASAR BEBAS

Abstract

Indonesia's involvement in the era
of economic globaliza­
tion has brought about the consequence
of participating in
the ratification
of the WTO agreement known as the Marrakech
Declaration, which concerns the principles enforced in the free
trade. Along with industrial developments, there have come into
existence various occupation and
jobqualifications requiring new
skills and expertise to support scientific and technological
developments. As a further consequence, there would occur a
shift in work values in company management. In the aspect
of
manufacturing activity, there would be a shift from high-volume
to high-value production.
To anticipate
job market needs with a view on the reality of
the quality ofour education, it is necessary to prepare a suitable
strategy in developing human resources through education and
training. With the newly-available opportunities as points
of de­
parture, universities as agents of improvement should be able
to
produce a work force not only skilful but also of high
intelligence, profound reliability, and strong personality in
. order to be able to compete abroad. There need to be efforts
to implement in any process in the education and training involving communication of.infannation and teaching-learning
interaction a strategy incorporating a dynamic and dialogic
atmosphere
