This study aims to develop a digital authentic assessment (DAA) model based on competencybased learning (CBL) in the field work practice program at vocational high schools. The background of this study is the need to improve the quality of assessment in vocational education, which often still uses less effective, traditional methods. The urgency of this study lies in the need for assessments that are more relevant to the world of work so that Vocational High school graduates can be better prepared to face challenges in the industry. The methods used in this study include the development of the ADDIE model, validation by experts, and implementation of the assessment model in several vocational high schools, followed by evaluation through surveys and interviews. The evaluation showed that the model successfully increased student engagement and competency achievement, with high average scores in ease of use, material relevance, and assessment quality. The implications of this study suggest that the DAA model can contribute to innovation in vocational education assessment in Indonesia and improve the readiness of vocational high school graduates in the job market, although challenges related to technology access need to be addressed to ensure the sustainability of implementation. © 2025 by the authors of this article.
