The rapid development of the business and industrial sectors demands high-quality vocational education institutions. This is particularly true regarding their relevance to the needs of the business and industrial sectors. Vocational Secondary Schools, as institutions that produce work-ready graduates, need to make alignment efforts to improve the absorption of their graduates into the workforce. The aim of this study is to explore alignment within vocational education institutions, develop alignment instruments for vocational education, and create guidelines for aligning vocational education. The method used in this study is a mixed-method design with an exploratory sequential approach. The study's results indicate that qualitative data analysis explores 12 categories and 40 codes. The development of the vocational education alignment instrument, resulting from Focus Group Discussions (FGD), consists of 7 components/dimensions and 23 items. The instrument has been proven to be reliable through validation and reliability testing. Content validity, analyzed by 7 experts, showed an average Aiken’s V index of 0.89 > 0.8, indicating high validity. The second proof used Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) with a KMO value of 0.956 > 0.5, and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed good fit criteria, including X², GFI, AGFI, CFI, TLI, CMIN/DF, and RMSEA values exceeding the cutoff. The measurement results of vocational education alignment, using the developed instrument on 77 vocational secondary schools and their business and industrial sector partners, indicate quadrant 2, meaning that the vocational secondary schools and the business and industrial sectors have achieved alignment according to the instrument's indicators.
