Summary
Vocational High School (VHS) is a secondary education that prepares students especially to work in certain fields. Vocational high schools as potential workers must provide a good education system, have good school governance, and other supporters to improve student competencies so that graduates have bargaining power (Hidayat, 2015) If this happens, the industry as a labor absorber will open up greater opportunities for employment of VHS graduates, because in principle the industry has qualified human resources. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) as of February 2021, the graduates of Vocational High School (VHS) are still the highest compared to graduates of other education levels, namely 11.45 percent This is very unfortunate considering that VHS graduates are prepared to be ready to work and become entrepreneurs, but empirical data shows the opposite, namely that most VHS graduates are unemployed. These constraints and problems, cannot be separated from the management and governance mechanisms of vocational high schools (Suchyadi et al, 2019; Suharsongko, 2019; Rohendi, 2020; Tasrif et al, 2021), including the educational supervision activities carried out by supervisors in VHS (Tasrif, 2019)
