Abstract
Vocational graduates are considered easy to get jobs for they have the characteristics of providing skills that follow the job market. However, the emergence of new types of work and the global crisis pose a threat to the workforce of vocational graduates. Therefore, many labour providers use employability skills as an alternative to deal with this change. This paper aims to determine the urgency of job skills in the face of changes in the labour market. This paper explores the essential components of the labour market based on Indonesia's main issues. Employability skills are the right choice in dealing with changes in the labour market. Job skills assure the workforce to find, retain and develop a career in a changing job market. The implications of this research will benefit labour providers who can deal with changes in the labour market. The model for forming the right work skills for vocational graduates is an exciting study for the future.
