Analysis of the Implementation of Training and Development Program Policies at the UPTD Vocational Education Development Center of the South Sumatra Provincial Education Office

Abstract

Human resource development is an important factor in improving the quality of education, especially in vocational education which is oriented towards strengthening the competence of educators and education personnel. This study aims to analyze the implementation of training and development program policies implemented by the UPTD Vocational Education Development Center of the South Sumatra Provincial Education Office. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, observations, and documentation. The research informants consist of training program managers, instructors, and trainees. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawn. The results of the study show that the implementation of the training program policy has been running but has not been optimal. This can be seen from the uneven aspects of policy communication, limited resources, and still obstacles in coordination between stakeholders. In addition, training facilities and infrastructure still need to be improved to support learning effectiveness. This study concludes that the success of the implementation of training policies is greatly influenced by communication factors, resources, implementing disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Therefore, it is necessary to improve institutional coordination, strengthen the capacity of human resources, and improve the training system based on competency needs.
