The SMK curriculum's development is needed to improve the quality of graduates who have the potential to work according to the interests and needs of society. Therefore, the SMK curriculum must be in line with what is needed by the world of work, not adjusted to government policies. In the SMK curriculum, we recognize the term link and match as a form of curriculum alignment with the demands of the business and industrial world (DUDI). However, implementing the 2013 Curriculum policy and link and match encountered problems, namely the teaching factory program. This study aimed to see the implementation of the 2013 curriculum and the link-and-match program implemented by schools, teachers, and students at SMK Negeri 1 Sutera.
