Abstract
This research aims to conduct an evaluation of the implementation of school-industry cooperation in form of internship program. The evaluation focused on the aspects of (1) context in terms of the purpose of the agreement, (2) input in terms of readiness of cooperation, (3) process in terms of the quality of implementing cooperation, and (4) product in terms of benefits gained from school partner industry cooperation to strengthen the vocational students’ competencies. This research is an evaluation research viewed from the Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP) components. The research data were obtained from a questionnaire given to students, supervisors, internship working group teams, and school industry partners of the Electric Power Installation Engineering Department of SMK Negeri 1 Windusari. The results are, (1) the context variable got a positive result, (2) the input variable got a negative result, (3) the process variable got a negative result, and (4) the product variable got a negative result. Therefore, the CIPP evaluation found positive, negative, negative, negative (+ - - -) which made the CIPP variable is included in quadrant III of the Glickman quadrant. Thus, we found that implementation of school-industry cooperation to strengthen the students’ competence was less effective. The school could use these findings to improve the performance of the cooperation implementation.

Summary
Education is a conscious and planned effort to create an atmosphere of learning and learning process so that students actively develop their potential to have religious-spiritual strength, self-control, discipline, intelligence, noble character, and the skills needed by themselves, society, nation, and country (Setneg, 2003). The improvement in cooperation between the industrial world and vocational schools is made to enhance the competitiveness of vocational graduates to obtain employment (Khurniawan, 2017). The obstacle of not absorbing vocational graduates in the industry could be due to the incompatibility of the area of expertise learned that is not connected (Khurniawan, 2017). Another factor of the problem of the non-functioning of industrial cooperation with SMKs is that graduates of educational institutions are not ready to work because they only master the theory, lack of skills (MOEC, 2018 )
