Abstract

The vocational village is a rural area program that develops certain skills (vocational) through business groups to empower human resources and economic capacity by creating high-value handcraft, based on local wisdom. In the North Aceh district, there are four villages that have their own distinctive products. The aim of this research is to examine the implementation of the vocational village that has been running in the district of North Aceh, based on the value of local wisdom; the obstacles in implementing the program, and the efforts to overcome these obstacles. This is qualitative research. The primary data for this research was conducted in four vocational villages in North Aceh district, by structured interviews and observation. From the research, it is known that skill training conducted by the local government is not based on the potential of handicraft in the village and local wisdom value, so that the concept of the vocational village has not been maximally implemented to achieve the economic value. The barriers in implementing the program, among others, are half-done planning, sustainability, political influence, and community culture, which affect the process of product marketing, empowerment of economic and human resource capacity.
