The internship program is given to introduce the world of work to students before graduating from school. Many things are obtained by students during internships, especially those related to skills development. School technology is different from industrial technology. They need to adjust to these differences. This research was conducted in the 11th grade students of Machining engineering as many as 46 students in the 2018/2019 school year. Internship students are spread across 24 manufacturing and service companies in Bekasi Regency. The questionnaire uses Google Forms to facilitate data collection. The research objective is to understand the development of technology in the industry according to the perception of the internship students. In addition, the suitability of student competencies is also checked. The results showed that Mechanical Engineering students were placed more in the "maintenance" section compared to other types of work. The Department of Mechanical Engineering is still needed in the industrial world. However, competencies learned in schools with industry are not appropriate. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
