Abstract
This study aimed to identify the key components for developing educational institutions in alignment with vocational education standards. A qualitative research approach was employed, comprising an extensive review of relevant literature and in-depth interviews with seven experts, including vocational education administrators, professional standards specialists, representatives from the industrial sector, and vocational education policy researchers. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to synthesize a comprehensive framework for managing vocational educational institutions, particularly within the context of small-sized vocational colleges.
The findings revealed six essential components for managing vocational educational institutions in accordance with vocational education standards: 1) Curriculum and Skills Management, which ensures alignment with labor market demands and professional standards. 2) Staff and Educational Technology Development, focusing on enhancing the capabilities of educators to meet the demands of 21st -century learning 3) Educational Quality and Occupational Standard Assurance, which involves the systematic assessment of students' competencies and external professional certification. 4) Budget Administration and Resource Mobilization, emphasizing efficiency, transparency, and collaborative resource management. 5) Stakeholder Engagement, fostering partnerships with industries, communities, and related organizations. 6) Student Development and Soft Skills, promoting holistic student development in terms of ethics, life skills, and adaptability.
These six components are consistent with existing literature and expert insights, and they offer a practical framework for improving the quality and effectiveness of vocational education management. This framework is particularly suited to the unique challenges and needs of small-sized vocational colleges, supporting their sustainable development in response to the dynamic changes of the 21st -century economy and society.
