This study aims to determine employment opportunities in the hospitality industry for female graduates of vocational hotel schools (SMK) in Bali. Data was collected from the Human Resources Department of hotels in Bali through the Google form questionnaire. There were 60 return valid questionnaires. Analysis of the questionnaires showed that 45% of SMK graduates were accepted as daily workers; 28.30% of contract workers; 18.30% permanent employees. Furthermore, for work positions, there is 27.22% of them work in housekeeping department, 21.30% in front office, 21.30% in food and beverage production, 24.86% in food and beverage service, and 5.40% in other departments including technicians and administrations. For administrative positions, graduates are required to have hotel operations administration skills such as hotel information system. In fact their knowledge about it is still minimal. This article argues that hotels are open themselves to accept graduates of vocational schools including women, and to become permanent employees, but they are required to have adequate skills for those positions. © 2019, Udayana University.
