The general aim of this research is  to  obtain  an  overview  and  analyze  the  management  of  implementing  the  teaching  factory program  in  increasing  the  employment  rate  in  the  business  and  industrial  world  at  vocational schools. This research specifically aims to describe and analyze: 1) Planning the teaching factory program; 2) Organizing the teaching factory program; 3) Implementation of the teaching factory program;  and  4)  Supervision  of  the  teaching  factory  program.  This  research  uses  a  qualitative approach with a case study. Data collection techniques in this research were carried out through interviews, observation and document study. The results of this research show the following: 1) The planning of the teaching factory program has been planned based on the vocational school teaching factory program planning guidelines; 2) The organization of the teaching factory program has  been  organized  based  on  the  main  tasks  and  functions  of  the  vocational  school;  3)  The implementation  of  the  teaching  factory  program  is  carried  out  in  accordance  with  the  teaching factory  guidelines  from  the  Directorate  of  Vocational  Schools,  but  in  the  product  and  service aspects there are still some weaknesses; and 4) Supervision of the teaching factory program was found  to  have  been  supervised  with  reference  to  the  supervision  aspects  determined  by  the Vocational School Directorate.
