Synopsis:
This book contains 20 inspirational stories about vocational education in Indonesia. TEMPO Institute sent 20 coverage and photographers to a number of regions in Indonesia. From Lhokseumawe at the western end to Fak Fak at the east end. From the northernmost sebatik to Ruteng in the south. From a place that can be visited with an online motorcycle taxi in Jakarta to have to change air-air-water transportation on the outer border of Indonesia. All the tiring trips to prove what we was talking about that afternoon in Bogor.

The story collected from 20 places from end to end of Indonesia is then presented in this book. This book is not to gather praise, but an attempt to gather inspirational stories that are scattered. Therefore, we-the report-do not write the perfection of the vocational education institutions. But looking for something that can inspire others – both students, students, teachers, lecturers, local governments and central, industrial circles, and the general public.

Therefore, the selection is not based on which is the most great, but which one has a story that can be shared. We are sure, there are many vocational education institutions or more powerful practices. But, it is the limitation that makes the author’s team have to choose these 20 stories.

There is a story about a vocational college that conducts a revolution in education in Indonesia by changing the way of learning. There are also those who make new breakthroughs by creating brake lining examiners using AI, the first in the world. But not always about sophisticated, because there is also a small vocational school on the outer island which with all its simplicity is determined to be an inspiration for food independence.

We compile this book with a story style (storytelling) so that those who reach the reader are not just information, but also inspiration and emotional transfer. We hope this book can add to the awareness of the community about vocational education, while inspiring the importance of vocational.
