The dominance of Indonesia’s youth unemployment rate is currently occupied by vocational school graduates. The incompatibility of competencies prepared in vocational schools with the competencies needed by the labour market triggers this unemployment rate. Discussion of employability skills as a basic skill is high among human resource developers. The learning process must pay attention to the profile of labour needed so that the gap can be overcome. This study aims to measure the increase in employability skills in problem solving skills of students through teaching factory model. The study sample was 60 students from vocational schools who conducted teaching factory on bread production in West Java. Improved problem solving skills are measured based on 5 indicators, are work safety, managing facilities, making decisions, knowing how to learn, and solving problems. 37 competency units are prepared based on national work standards as a guideline for measuring students’ problem solving skills. Achievement of employability skills in problem solving skills of students in SMKN 1 Pacet is higher than SMKN 1 Cibadak, and SMKN 2 Subang. The causes of differences in the achievement of employability skills are discussed.
