Industrial revolution 4.0 has influenced a variety of sectors, including education. This study aims to develop a Work-Based Learning (WBL) model to improve the quality of the learning process at VHS (Vocational High School), which includes planning, implementation and evaluation, and to obtain evidence about the effectiveness, strengths and weaknesses of the developed WBL model. This study implemented a Design-Based Research (DBR) approach divided into 4 stages, namely problem identification and analysis, program prototype development, testing and implementation of program prototypes, and reflection to obtain the expected design principles and overcome various problems encountered. Need assessment in the form of a survey was given to several VHS organizers of WBL as problem identification and analysis, then the WBL prototype was developed based on the need assessment data in the field, followed by the effectiveness testing process in VHS. In addition, selected learning materials were also analysed in relation to the relevance with the proposed model. The results of the study showed that WBL applied in several VHSs has proven to be successful in providing positive results for increasing the competence of VHS students. However, in the implementation of the program, it turns out that there are still weaknesses. To overcome them, the WBL design was prepared by aligning the national curriculum, industry curriculum, and work qualification standards with Computer-Based Test (CBT) principles. To test the effectiveness of the model, a test was carried out by applying the WBL model in VHS, which showed that of the three aspects tested, two aspects showed positive results so that they were declared effective. © 2022 School of Engineering, Taylor's University.
