Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find the great relevance of the curriculum in the vocational high school electronics engineering to the work assignments of laptop technicians. This study uses a task analysis approach with percentage analysis to measure the level of relevance of the curriculum and tasks of laptop technicians in the service industry. The instrument for measuring the level of curriculum and task difficulty in industry refers to the book "A Guide to Job Analysis" by taking the General Education Development (GED) scale. The GED scale used is Reasoning Development. The matchmaking results found 16.6% of vocational engineering subjects in electronics in vocational high schools are highly relevant and have a major contribution to the implementation of laptop technician work tasks. There are 33.3% of vocational subjects that are highly relevant, but the contribution to their implementation is small towards laptop technician work tasks.
