Identification of Green Competency Needs in Vocational Education Curriculum Development based on Simple Additive Weighting

Global environmental sustainability issues have driven the transformation of vocational education to integrate green competencies that are relevant to the needs of the green industry. This study aims to identify the need for green competencies in the development of vocational education curriculum using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This method helps in decision making from various different perspectives (such as teachers, students and industry) so that it needs to be generalized. This SAW method produces a ranking of competency elements based on the level of importance as a recommendation in developing a vocational education curriculum based on green competencies =. The research was conducted through data collection from literature, surveys to stakeholders (teachers, students, and industry). Data collection was carried out online via google form and 1022 respondents participated in this study. The identification results show that the aspects of "being able to provide solutions to environmental problems", being able to be responsible for environmental sustainability, and communication skills are the main needs that need to be developed/integrated into the curriculum. The implications of this study can be a recommendation or reference in designing a vocational education curriculum based on green competencies that not only meet the needs of the labor market but also support the SDGs.
