A. Background
The weakening of the absorption of labor weak of labor absorption in some sectors in
industry, generated increase the unemployment rate increases.

Central Bureau of

Statistics (BPS) reports that number of Indonesian unemployed in Indonesia in August

2015 as many as about 7.56 million people, an increase of increased 320 thousand

6,22 persen;, and Elementary School (SD) down 2.74 percent. Such data can could be
increased in line with decreas slowing of economic growth.
Will the unemployment rate is high, UNJ have to faec new challanges UNJ have to

Engineering Universitas Negeri Jakarta constitute

Education Workforce Education

Institutions (LPTK) that graduates working in education, teachers and professional

educators need to adapting this conditions. Graduates who do not work in education, can
work in company or industry.
To Maintain quality and channel with some of the graduates to the world of work,

of graduates and graduates in the working world high absorption high absoption of
graduates in working field . At least absorption alumni of the low rate of graduates
absorption in working field is a challenge for the Career Development Center. Career
Development Center Faculty of Engineering (BKK FT UNJ) which is the Career
Development Center at the Universitas Negeri Jakarta needs to play an active role. An
active role to develop an optimization model to bridge the tri-partite (World of Work,
Alumni and University). From exposure to the aboveexplanation above, problems can be

This research is qualitative research. Based on Mukhtar, qualitative research can be
divided into two, first, library research and second, field research. Research literature
Library research the data relied almost completely on field research library rely on data
from literature research while relying on the data in the field (social setting) obtained
through informants and data documentation relating to the subject of research (EMIC)
field research using data field collection related to the research subject. The method used
in this research is the method library research (literature), in which matters related to the
study are presented and will be made in the theoretical framework for the next as inputs
in the preparation concept optimization role model of career development center in order
to improve the quality of graduates and absorption graduates in employment.
