Abstract

Merdeka Curriculum is a manifestation of systemic changes in Indonesian education that was implemented in 2021 until it became the national curriculum in 2024. One of the spirits in this curriculum is the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthen Project (P5). P5 aims to internalize the character of the Pancasila student profile, which has seven themes, one of which is typical for vocational secondary school students, which is employment. This theme facilitates students in developing an understanding of employment, job opportunities, and work readiness as transferable skills. The focus of this study is to describe P5 as a forum for developing students' transferable skills in vocational secondary schools that implement the Merdeka Curriculum in Kediri City and explore student's perceptions. The teachers choose the P5 theme to pair with the Pancasila student Profile dimension to achieve the desired transferable skills. This article provides several examples of the P5 theme—93 grade X Mechanical Engineering students filled in questionnaires. Quantitative descriptive data analysis techniques were used to determine the mean indicators of transferable skills. The results of the study show that students' perspectives on indicators of transferable skills are leadership and responsibility (3.26), having initiative and being able to self-manage (3.20), communication (3.16), flexibility and adaptability (3.10), critical thinking and problem-solving (3.10), collaboration (3.10). P5 is the right forum for developing transferable skills in vocational secondary schools, as shown by positive student responses.
