Vocational teachers are the spearhead in practical learning should be responsive, anticipatory and proactive to the needs of current and future vocational graduates. 21st-century skills bring the consequences of teacher’s role in practical learning not only as facilitator, motivator, administrator. In practice learning, Teachers should act as supervisors who are responsible for product, quality, price, method, morale, practice, safety, and environment. In addition to hard skills, important aspects of soft skills needed in the world of work including discipline, responsibility, mental work, adaptability, and cooperation are important in learning in Vocational Schools. Revitalization of Vocational Teacher’s role in practical learning in line with future work qualification demands must be done immediately.
