Unemployment is a significant issue in many countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to assess the impact of independent variables on the dependent variable. The dependent variable is the unemployment rate in vocational higher education (Y), and the independent variables are the employment opportunities in vocational higher education (X1), government policy in the establishment of the Directorate General of Vocational Education (X2), and area differences between Java and outside Java (X3). Multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares method is used in the analysis. The findings indicate that the three independent variables have a statistically significant effect on the dependent variable. Variable X1 significantly affects the unemployment rate in vocational higher education in Indonesia, while variables X2 and X3 have a significant adverse effect. According to the findings of this study, there needs to be more labor in vocational higher education in Indonesia. The novelty of this research is to demonstrate the effect of establishing the Directorate General of Vocational Education in 2020, which is then updated based on the work procedure organization in 2021 to reduce the unemployment rate in Indonesian vocational higher education. © 2024 International Academic Press
