ABSTRACT

Indonesia encounters substantial challenges in higher education during the digital revolution and post- COVID-19 era, particularly in aligning graduates with the demands of the workforce. The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program has been implemented as a solution, offering experiential learning opportunities through off-campus activities. However, its implementation at Universitas Muhammadiyah Jakarta (UMJ) encounters various obstacles, including limited human resources, challenges in developing flexible curricula, and disparities in educational access. This study explores the implementation of MBKM at UMJ using a qualitative case study approach, focusing on curriculum management, human resource readiness, and challenges faced. The findings reveal that while MBKM contributes to enhancing students’ skills and the relevance of education to workforce needs, barriers such as limited technology in partner schools, intensive schedules, and inadequate administrative support persist. This study provides strategic recommendations to enhance MBKM implementation, including enhanced faculty training, better resource management, and increased accessibility for students from diverse backgrounds. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for developing inclusive and competency-oriented higher education policies.
