The high unemployment rate in Indonesia, with most of them are the Vocational High School’s graduates. It triggers the vocational schools to improve the competence of their graduates that they will be part of the industry and business. One of the steps taken by the school based on the applicable laws and regulations is On-the-job training (Prakerin). However, the Covid-19 pandemic that hit Indonesia made it impossible to carry out as usual. SMK NU Gebang took steps to fill this void by holding In-House Training as a substitute for internships. One of the materials provided in the In-House Training is Business Writing on the topic of Introduction to Business Correspondence.

From this activity, it is known that SMK NU Gebang students are actively involved in participating in the In-House Training. Students can also complete the assigned tasks well.
