This study aims to develop a prediction model for the employment status of senior high school (SMK) graduates in Indonesia using multifactor analysis involving academic performance, social environment, and family. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Random Forest algorithm to collect large amounts of data and provide specific predictions. The model predicts the employment status of SMK graduates by 76%, indicating good work performance. This study also found that significant community factors significantly affect the employment status of SMK graduates (38.9%), followed by social factors (36.8%) and academic factors (24.5%). This study encourages schools, parents, and the government to focus on holistic SMK education, such as collaboration between schools and industry, to improve the employment status of SMK graduates.
