ABSTRACT
The challenge faced by college graduates is how to get a job that suits their interests and talents while meeting industry needs. With the increasing number of job seekers, university graduates must have adequate soft skills. The MBKM policy with a three-semester study rights program outside the study program is to improve graduate competence so that it is relevant to industry needs. The descriptive research aims to identify the private universities (PTS) work network for the business world industry and provide an overview of PTS attitudes and perceptions towards the MBKM Policy. Data was obtained from non-health PTS under the auspices of LLDikti Region I North Sumatra, through a questionnaire. Data processing techniques were analyzed quantitatively using a questionnaire on a Likert scale, which was then processed using SPSS 20.0, which was further described qualitatively and descriptively. The results showed that 91.5% of respondents had a working network with the world of business industry (DUDI) and had established MoUs with various strategic partners. All respondents knew about the MBKM policy, 83% of respondents understood it, and 85% of respondents believed the MBKM policy had a positive impact on PTS. MBKM is a solution for improving the quality of education, but in its implementation, there are still various obstacles that need to be the attention of the government.
