ABSTRACT
Kabupaten Cirebon has a working-age population that is relatively large, the challenges of low skilled labor and high open unemployment rate (TPT) is still draging the region, vocational education is the greatest source of problems. In dealing with these problems, the Cirebon Regency Government, through the Department of Manpower, applies the Tobacco Excise Revenue Sharing Fund (DBHCHT) in accordance with the Ministry of Finance Regulation No. 72 of 2024. The scheme is run by the UPTD Vocational Training Center (BLK). This study was conducted in order to analyze the DBHCHT based vocational training program to enhance workforce competencies in cirebon regency. The research is a descriptive qualitative research, with three data collection techniques namely interview, observation and documentation. Data were analyzed using George C. Edward III’s policy implementation theory with four dimensions which are: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The findings of the study suggest that the DBHCHT vocational training program is implemented effectively in enhancing workforce competencies. But there is still limitation of facilities, motivation of participants is different, and bal less cooperation with industrial sector for job placement. Therefore, the objectives of programme need to be communicated more, facilities/infrastructure need to be improved and links with industry need to be forged.
