Abstract: This research is entitled Effectiveness of Student Internship Program in Industry to Self-Competency

Development at Bengkalis State Polytechnic. Universities continue to evaluate the competence of students

who have been equipped with competencies according to the study program, both hard skills and soft skills

through assessment by industry in the student internship program to industry for one semester. Student

internship is a program that aims to enrich students' insights and skills to prepare and create superior

Indonesian human resources, especially in facing global competition through link and match industrial and

university curriculum. Through this program, it is hoped that there will be a link & match curriculum

between universities and the industrial sector. The universities can be updated with the needs of the

industry. However, to achieve the purpose of holding the KP, is not an easy thing. There are still many

obstacles in the process of implementing the KP, starting from placements in fields that are not in

accordance with their expertise, the level of industry trust in KP students is lacking and other things. So, this

study will discuss the effectiveness of the Job Training program that has been implemented by the

Bengkalis State Polytechnic. The KP held by the Department of Commercial Administration starting in

2020 has been carried out for one semester. A total of 17.9% of the total students carry out KP in private

companies, 10.1% in BUMN/BUMD companies, 60% in government agencies, and 13% in other agencies.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Research Background

The development of the world of education,

especially higher education in Indonesia, which is

increasing rapidly, encourages universities to

improve their quality, including the quality of

graduates or alumni from these universities.

Moreover, the demands in the world of work that

college graduates will enter are getting higher day

by day. Often the quality of college graduates is only

seen by the high value of the achievement index or

hard skills. In fact, according to Nugroho (2009),

almost all companies today require an appropriate

combination of hard skills and soft skills for all

employee positions.

The more abilities of graduates or prospective

employees needed by the industry, the more intense

competition will be for each college graduate to get

a decent job. The tight competition to get a decent

job needs to be answered with the right

competencies, especially for college graduates.

Universities as institutions that develop knowledge,

must also print their students to have adequate soft

skills. Thus, the graduates can become competent

individuals. Competent graduates are not only able

to master knowledge and technology in their fields

but are also able to apply their competencies and

have adequate soft skills. The science and

technology that universities provide to their

graduates is a provision of hard skills. Meanwhile,

the provision of soft skills is provided through the

development of communication skills both verbally,

in writing and in pictures, the ability to work

independently or in a team, the ability to reason and

the ability to analyze. The reality on the ground

shows that to reach the peak of success, not only

hard skills are needed, but also soft skills. Soft skills

are defined as personal and interpersonal behaviors

that develop and maximize human performance,

including the ability to communicate, socialize,

work in teams, mental resilience, discipline,

responsibility, and other attributes of soft skills. This

is in accordance with the results of research

conducted at Harvard University in the United States

which revealed that success is only determined about

20% by hard skills and the remaining 80% by soft

skills (Furhan, 2011). Based on the results of this

study, it is clear that an increase in Human

Resources (HR) should be obtained through

improving the ability of soft skills, including the

educational path applied in Indonesia.

Bengkalis State Polytechnic (Polbeng) which

consists of 18 study programs with various fields of

competence continues to develop the curriculum

demanded by the Ministry of Education and Culture,

namely link and match with the industrial world.

One of them is through student internship program

to industry. The student internship program at

Polbeng is called the Job Training (KP). The

following shows the number of active students at the

Bengkalis State Polytechnic for the last 4 (four)

years:

3. 2019/2020 2.107

4. 2020/2021 2.437

Source: SIM Polbeng

Based on Table 1 above, it is calculated that 25%

of the number of active students will do KP every

year. For 2021, there are 609 students who will carry

out the KP. For this reason, various preparations are

carried out at the Polbeng level, starting from

mapping student competencies with the industry

where the KP is carried out to planning meetings

with industry related to input in the process of

evaluating the suitability of the study program

curriculum with industry needs.

Through Internships or Job Training,

professional skills education can be carried out that

combines educational programs at universities and

mastery of skills programs obtained through direct

work activities in the world of work (on the job

training) in a directed manner to achieve a certain

level of professional expertise. However, to achieve

the purpose of holding the KP, is not an easy thing.

There are still many obstacles in the process of

implementing the KP, starting from placements in

fields that are not in accordance with their expertise,

the level of industry trust in KP students is lacking

and other things. Based on the background of the

problem above, this research will be studied further

with the title: "The Effectiveness of the Student

Internship Program in Industry to Developing

Self Competence at the Bengkalis State

Polytechnic".

1.2 Formulation of the Problem

Based on this background, the formulation of the

problem that can be presented in this study is, how

does Polbeng regulate the process of implementing

student KP so that the KP objectives are achieved

and how effective is the process that has been

carried out in order to produce competent graduates?

1.3 Scope and Limitation

To simplify the problem and clarify the research, the

limitation of the problem in this research is the KP

activities carried out by Applied Bachelor students

of the Department of Commerce in the 2019/2020

and 2020/2021 Academic Years.

1.4 Objective of the Study

From the formulation and limitation of the problems

that have been mentioned, the objectives to be

achieved in this study are to determine:

1. How does Polbeng carry out student internships

to industry?

2. What competencies are provided by Polbeng

before students carry out practical work in

industry?

3. How effective is the student internship program

in industry in improving the competence of

Polbeng students?

4. What are the obstacles experienced by students

while carrying out practical work in industry?

5. How is the industry's assessment of Polbeng

students who carry out practical work in their

company?

1.5 Significance of the Study

The benefit of this research is as input for all the

academic community within the Bengkalis State

Polytechnic in carrying out the responsibility of

creating competent students and implementing a link

and match curriculum with industry in order to

increase the absorption of Polbeng graduates.

2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 Previous Research

Research conducted by Suharyanti, (2015) entitled

"The Influence of the Learning Process and Job

Training Program on the Development of Student

Soft Skills". This study uses a quantitative

descriptive method. The population in this study

were all students of BKK Office Administration

Education FKIP Sebelas Maret University class of

2009 which amounted to 36 students. Based on the

results of research that researchers have conducted at

the Office Administration Education BKK class of

2009, it can be concluded as follows: 1) there is a

significant effect of the learning process on the

development of soft skills for office administration

education students, Sebelas Maret University, class

of 2009, 2) There is a significant influence practical

work program (internship) on the development of

soft skills of students of Office Administration

Education FKIP Sebelas Maret University class of

2009, 3) There is a significant influence of the

learning process and practical work program

(apprenticeship) on the development of soft skills of

students of Office Administration Education FKIP

Sebelas Maret University class of 2009 .

Another study was conducted by Ismail, et al.,

(2018) entitled "Development of Student

Competence Through Effectiveness of Educational

Internship Programs". This study aims to reveal how

the apprenticeship program can strengthen the

competence of prospective teachers which consists

of 1) Pedagogic Competence, 2) Professional

Competence, 3) Social Competence, and 4)

Personality Competence. This type of research is

qualitative research, with a phenomenological

approach. Data collection techniques using

interviews, observation, and documentation. The

data analysis technique used interactive analysis.

The results showed that the improvement of student

competence through the internship program covered

the following aspects: pedagogic competence,

professional competence, social competence, and

social personality competence had reached

professional standards and served as role models for

prospective teachers. Internship 2 students already

have a concept in preparing the Learning Process

Plan (RPP), which consists of knowledge of making

teaching plans, teaching implementation, to teaching

evaluation, and even facilities and infrastructure, as

well as student administration. Students also gain

personality competencies in the form of soft skills

including communication skills, adaptability skills in

work, skills in managing teamwork, social skills,

and thoroughness in work. These competencies can

be internalized within students as academics

supported by several supporting courses.

2.2 Effectiveness

The word effective comes from English, namely

effective which means successful or something that is

done successfully. Popular scientific dictionaries

define effectiveness as the appropriateness of use,

use or support for a purpose. According to Pasolong

(2007), effectiveness basically comes from the word

"effect" and this term is used as a causal relationship.

According to Kurniawan (2008), effectiveness can be

viewed as a cause of other variables. Effectiveness

means that the previously planned goals can be

achieved or in other words the goals are achieved

because of the activity process. According to

Kurniawan (2008), effectiveness is the ability to

carry out tasks, functions (operations, program

activities or missions) rather than an organization or

the like in which there is no pressure or tension

between its implementations. Meanwhile, Effendy

(2003) states that effectiveness is communication in

which the process of achieving the planned goals is

in accordance with the budgeted costs, the time set,

and the number of personnel specified. Based on the

above opinion, effectiveness is a communication that

goes through a certain process, in a measurable way,

namely the achievement of predetermined goals or

objectives. With a budgeted cost, a set time, and a

predetermined number of people. If these provisions

run smoothly, then the planned goals will be

achieved as desired.

Measuring organizational effectiveness is not a

very simple matter, because effectiveness can be

studied from various perspectives and depends on

who is assessing and interpreting it. When viewed

from the point of view of productivity, a production

manager provides an understanding that effectiveness

means the quality and quantity (output) of goods and

services. The level of effectiveness can also be

measured by comparing the plans that have been

determined with the actual results that have been

realized. However, if the effort or the results of the

work and actions taken are not appropriate so that the

goals are not achieved or the expected goals, then it

is said to be ineffective. The criteria or measures

regarding the achievement of effective goals or not,

as stated by Siagian (1978), are:

1. Clarity of the goals to be achieved, so that in its

implementation it can achieve organizational

goals and targeted goals.

ICAESS 2021 - The International Conference on Applied Economics and Social Science

300

2. Clarity of strategy to achieve goals, in making

various efforts to achieve the specified goals so

as not to get lost in achieving organizational

goals.

3. A solid policy analysis and formulation process,

related to the objectives to be achieved and the

established strategy, means that the policy must

be able to bridge the objectives with the efforts

to implement operational activities.

4. Careful planning, proper programming of a good

plan still needs to be spelled out in proper

implementation programs because if not, the

implementers will lack guidelines for action and

work.

5. Availability of work facilities and infrastructure.

Indicators of organizational effectiveness are the

ability to work productively.

6. Effective and efficient implementation, however

good a program is, if it is not implemented

effectively and efficiently, the organization will

not achieve its goals; and

7. An educational system of supervision and control

considering human nature is not perfect, the

effectiveness of the organization requires a

system of supervision and control.

According to Lubis et al., (1987), mentions 3

(three) main approaches in measuring organizational

effectiveness, namely:

1. The resource approach, which measures the

effectiveness of the input, the approach

prioritizes the success of the organization to

obtain resources, both physical and non-physical

in accordance with the needs of the organization.

2. The process approach is to see the extent to

which the effectiveness of program

implementation from all internal process

activities or organizational mechanisms; and

3. Approach targets (goals approach) where the

focus of attention on the output measures the

success of the organization to achieve the results

(outputs) in accordance with the plan.

2.3 Internship Program

The practical work program (apprenticeship)

according to Suharyanti (2015) is a learning activity

in the field that aims to introduce and grow students'

abilities in the real world of work. Meanwhile,

according to Sumardiono (2014) internship is a

learning process from an expert through activities in

the real world. Lianasari, et al., (2014) stated that

apprenticeship is a learning technique that involves

individual observation on work and determining

feedback to improve performance or correct errors.

In essence, the internship program is a learning

activity carried out to gain experience in

contributing and working in real life. Thus, it is

hoped that every student will be able to follow and

understand the work activities carried out in the

business world so that the student gets something

good and useful for himself and is able to show his

maximum performance. In addition, it can form the

mental motivation of students as workers who are

ready to work and able to be independent and have

the spirit of hardworking, honest, responsible, and

tenacious at work (Suharyanti, 2015).

According to Mondy (2008), Internship is a

special form of recruitment that involves placing

students/students on temporary jobs without any

obligation for the company/institution to employ the

student/student on a permanent basis or the

obligation to give the apprentice a permanent

position in the company/institution after the person

concerned. Graduated. According to Hidajat (2006),

internship is the activity of someone who works

while learning a certain skill.

According to Daryanto (2009), internships or

field work practices are a form of providing

professional skills education that combines

educational programs in schools and skills mastery

programs obtained through direct work activities in

the world of work (on the job training) in a directed

manner to achieve a certain level. certain

professional skills. From some of the opinions

above, it can be concluded that the internship

program is a learning activity as well as training for

students to be able to understand in theory and

practice certain skills acquired through work

activities directly in the world of work as a form of

work experience for students participating in the

internship program.

In implementing the internship program or field

work practice, students participating in the

internship program must find out, examine, learn,

and understand the skills that must be mastered

based on the types of work to be carried out in the

world of work. Basically, during the implementation

of the internship program (PKL), students

participating in the internship program have worked

directly in the real field of work, so that students

actually have the abilities they have acquired

through work experience.

Internships or field work practices are training

modalities that are held in the field, aiming to

provide the skills needed in certain jobs in

accordance with the curriculum and the demands of

abilities for workers. In the implementation of the

internship program or field work practice, students

The Effectiveness of Student Internship Program in Industry to Developing Self Competence at Bengkalis State Polytechnic

301

are required to learn actively as an employee,

working according to the work program that has

been approved to gain and improve skills in

accordance with the expected goals. According to

Daryanto (2009), the general objectives of

implementing on the job training are as follows:

1. Students are able to adapt to the real work

environment.

2. Students have a standard level of competence as

required by the world of work.

3. Students become workers with quality,

economic, business, entrepreneurial, and

productive perspectives.

4. Students can rationally absorb technology and

work culture for the benefit of their own

development.

Based on the above formulation, basically

training in the world of work through an internship

program aims to provide work experience for

students so that students can master standardized

productive skills competencies, internalize attitudes,

values and culture of institutions that are oriented to

quality standards on quality standards, economic

values and spirit. entrepreneurship and form a

critical, productive, and competitive work ethic.

2.4 Student Competence

According to Ismail, et al., (2018) as students who

will enter the industrial world must meet at least 3

competencies, namely:

1. Professional Competence.

2. Personality Competence.

3. Social Competence.

Student competence is evidenced by the

existence of a certificate, which is always referred to

in the university environment as a student

competency certification program. The Ministry of

Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) through the

Directorate General of Vocational Higher Education

(Dikti) launched a competency and professional

certification program for vocational students. The

certification process itself is the activity of a

professional certification body in determining that a

person meets the certification requirements, which

include registration, assessment, certification

decisions, certification maintenance, re-certification,

and the use of certificates and logos or marks. There

is a certification program that is included in the

competency certification and there is a professional

certification. Competency certification is the process

of providing competency certificates that are carried

out systematically and objectively through

competency tests that refer to work competency

standards, both national and international.

Meanwhile, professional certification is a work

certification required to obtain or improve certain

competencies. Professional certification is carried

out for special competencies or expertise

2.5 Industry

The definition of industry is very broad, which

involves all human activities in the economic field

that are productive and commercial in nature.

Because it is a broad economic activity, the number

and types of industries are different for each country

or region. The more advanced the level of industrial

development in a country or region, the greater the

number and types of industries, and the more

complex the nature of their activities. The term

industrialization economically is also interpreted as

a collection of similar companies where the word

industry is combined with words that describe the

type of industry. The rest are, for example, the

pharmaceutical industry, the garment industry, the

woodworking industry, and so on.

Industry is all companies or businesses that carry

out activities to change basic materials or goods of

less value into goods of higher value. Included in

this sector are companies that carry out industrial

services and assembly activities of an industry.

According to Kartasapoetra (1987), Industry is an

economic activity that processes raw materials, raw

materials, semi-finished goods or finished goods into

high-value goods. Another definition states that the

industry is as a means to produce finished goods

through the cultivation process in large quantities so

that these goods can be obtained at the lowest

possible price but with the highest possible quality

(Sade, 1997). According to Abdurachmat and

Maryani (1998) Industry is one of the important

human economic activities. It produces various

necessities of human life from food, drink, clothing,

and household equipment to housing and other

necessities of life.

Industry is all forms of economic activity that

manages raw materials and or utilizes industrial

resources, so as to produce goods that have higher

added value or benefits, including industrial

services. So, it can be concluded that the definition

of industry is a business or activity of managing raw

materials or semi-finished goods into finished goods

that have added value in order to gain profits.

The objectives of industrial development in

Indonesia are as follows:

a. Create and expand employment opportunities.

ICAESS 2021 - The International Conference on Applied Economics and Social Science

302

b. Strengthening the structure of the national

economy.

c. Provide and increase job opportunities and

business opportunities.

d. Reducing dependence on imported goods.

e. Generate and save foreign exchange.

f. Meet the needs of the community for industrial

products, both food, clothing and building

materials.

based on the research objectives as follows:

4.2.1 How to Polbeng Carries Out Student

Internship Activities to Industry

Job Training (KP) is a series of activities that

include understanding the theory/concept of science

that is applied to work according to the

competencies of the study program. KP can add to

the discourse, knowledge, and skills of students, and

be able to solve scientific problems in accordance

with the theories they get in college.

record form.

4.2.2 Competencies Provided by Polbeng

before Student Carry out Practical

Work to Industry

International Business Administration Study

Program students have competence in the fields of

export, import and business administration. Students

of the Public Financial Accounting Study Program

also have public sector accounting competencies,

both BUMN, BUMD, and other public

organizations. In addition to having the special

competencies above, each student in each study

program is equipped with supporting competencies

in the form of Professional Ethics and Anti-

Corruption Education.

4.2.3 The Effectiveness of Student Practical

Work Program in Industry for

Improving the Competence of Polbeng

Student

KP in the Department of Commercial

Administration in 2020 and 2021 is carried out for

one semester (4 months). In the future, based on the

latest curriculum draft, students will carry out KP for

2 semesters. The following is a list of companies

where students of the Department of Commerce

carry out KP:

Source: Processed Data

Based on the data in the table above, the

highest percentage of the type of company where the

implementation of KP is for students of the

Department of Business Administration is

Government Agencies, which is 60%. The target that

is expected by the Department of Commerce is that

students can carry out KP in the industrial world for

the private company type, which is greater than

75%, while the remaining 25% is for other types of

companies. This proves that the expected target has

not been achieved considering that there are many

obstacles in the implementation of KP in the

Department of Commerce Administration.

4.2.4 The Obstacles Experienced by

Students While Carrying Out Practical

Work in The Industry

Based on the questionnaire distributed to students,

there are several obstacles in the implementation of

KP which are divided into obstacles in the process of

submitting KP to the company and obstacles in the

process of implementing KP in the company. The

obstacles in the application process to the company

are expected to be summarized as follows:

1. Bengkalis State Polytechnic is an archipelagic

area with very few private industries but is a

government area so that KP is mostly

implemented in government agencies.

2. The mindset of some students' parents who are

worried about their children to carry out KP in

other cities that are far from their supervision.

3. There are several private companies and

campuses that have mismatched KP student

admission schedules.

The obstacles that students experience while

carrying out KP in the company are as follows:

1. There is still a lack of trust from the company to

hand over work to students.

2. There is no match between the student's

scientific field and work placement in the

company.

3. There are several financial applications used in

companies that are not studied on campus.

4.2.5 An Assessment from The Industry of

Polbeng Students Who Carry Out

Practical Work in Their Company

Based on the Assessment Form submitted to each

KP supervisor in the company, the following data

were obtained:

Based on the table above, the highest percentage is

the result of Work in the Very Good category. This

explains that students who carry out KP are judged

by the company to be able to work well.

5 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of the research that has been

done, there are several things that are the main notes

in the implementation of the KP that has been

carried out at Polbeng to continue to be improved in

the future, namely increasing collaboration with

private industry to be able to adjust the student KP

schedule between campus and industry. In addition,

the obstacles experienced by students both in the

process of submitting the KP to the company as well

as the obstacles during implementing the KP must

continue to be discussed with the Study Programs

and Departments so that the main indicators in the

Polbeng Strategic Plan are achieved.
