Capacity Development Strategy of the Ministry of Manpower's Community Job Training Center Organization: A Case Study of the Incubator Community Job Training Center in Garut Regency

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the organizational capacity development strategy of the Community Work Training Center (BLK-K) in Garut Regency with an intervention approach at the system, institutional, and individual levels to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of vocational training programs. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, FGDs, direct observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that at the system level, vocational training policies still need to be adjusted to local needs and strengthened in cross-sector coordination. At the institutional level, the organizational structure of BLK-K needs to be more flexible with a more data-based evaluation system. At the individual level, improving the competence of instructors and teaching staff is still a major challenge, especially in the adoption of technology-based training methods. New findings in this study indicate that the success of BLK-K management depends not only on national policies, but also on local strategies in building collaboration with the private sector and communities.
