Literacy skills, both reading, and writing are often regarded as something that is not so important for vocational students to pay attention. In fact, in today‟s rapid growth of industrial technology, workers are required to have adequate literacy skills that enable them to keep up with the developments. This study aims to investigate how does literacy was practiced in the vocational engineering field. This study was carried out using the semistructured interview. As participants in this study were 4 tutors which taken from Vocational Engineering Education Department. The data collected were the results of the interview, students‟ field work reports, and the results of field observation on the situation in classroom and workshop. This case study was carried out on concrete construction course. The result from this research sawn that students literacy practise in reading was rarely implemented. A habit of writing manually also rarely done, but students were accustomed to making written work reports with computer technology-based tools. The lack of active reading practice with a good understanding brings difficulties for students to meet the achievement of competencies. Practical students did a lot of misunderstanding on literacy in the form of technical symbols. These were serious problems in engineering field because failure in reading symbols can bring to failure construction.
