Abstract

Increased demand for labor in era 4.0 is expected to be in line with skilled digital-based graduates. VHS as one of the educational institutions prepares students to work with a short transition period. The research objective was to find out the time needed by VHS graduates in work, factors that influenced VHS graduates to quickly get jobs, and VHS graduate activities during the transition period. The study used ethnographic methods with the models of Miles and Huberman. The results of the study were graduate waiting times between 0, 3 and 6 months. Factors that influence student waiting time are activeness, student achievement, work skills, strong desire to get work, parental encouragement, and economic factors. Use of the transition period by VHS students by finding job openings, preparing data to apply for jobs, submitting applications to job providers and waiting for job openings.
