Abstract

this study aims to obtain an overview of the profile of graduates and their competitiveness in the community and their improvement strategies. The study was conducted on a Chemistry Education study program held through distance education. The sample used was 36 graduates from a total population of 119 peoples cattered in the urban, and rural areas. The questionnaire contained 16 questions that were content validated by distance education experts and used a scale of 4. Additional data was obtained through in-depth interviews with two policy makers at the institution related to the research findings. The results obtained showed that the lowest graduate self assessment was in English skills of 2.52, the community empowerment process was 2.74, and the research methodology was 2.85. While the highest competency requirements for graduates are in learning planning is 3.70, the ability in information technology is 3.70 and learning evaluation is 3.73. The difference between self-assessment and the needs of graduates shows that there is a gap, and the highest gap value is in English language skills of 0.98, the research methodology is 0.69 and the use of information technology is 0.68. The efforts and strategies of institutions to improve the quality of graduates starting with improving the curriculum in learning programs include changing the content of English language teaching materials that are initially general into material for daily conversations, adding subjects in the Digital Age Learning and adding credits to research methodology subjects
