- Abstract— Practice of industrial work executed as effort to increase relevance graduate competence of Vocational High School (VHS) with the needs of the workforce. Implementation of industrial work practice expected to be relevant with vocational competence at curriculum. This research aim to know: 1) recovery level of VHS student welding engineering competence during implementation of industrial work practice, and 2) relevance level of expertise competence of VHS student welding engineering associated with implementation of industrial work practice. This research is an ex post facto research, the sample of this research is is 155 VHS student of welding engineering expertise in Pangkajene and Islands Regency. The instrument is a questionnaire developed based on basic competence at expertise package of VHS welding engineering. Data analysis technique using descriptive statistic. The conclusion of this research is: (1) average percentage of recovery level of welding engineering competence is 37,28% and included in fair category; and (2) competence relevance of welding engineering package interest in VHS associated with implementation of industrial work practice for Oxi-Acetylene Welding is less relevant with percentage 75,48%, manual arc welding stays in relevant category with percentage 36,77%, weld metal Inert Gas (MIG) stays in category is less relevant with percentage 66,45%, and weld tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) categorizes less relevantly with percentage 82,58%.
