This study analyzes the implementation of the Labor Program at the Tangerang Regency Manpower Office in 2026, using George C. Edwards III’s policy implementation framework covering four indicators: communication, resources, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. An open unemployment rate of 5.94 percent in 2025, affecting approximately 102,510 residents, reflects a structural gap between industry demand and workforce readiness. This research employs a descriptive-analytic qualitative approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observation, and documentation, with validity ensured through source and technique triangulation as well as member checks. Findings reveal that program implementation is constrained by limited outreach, disparities in instructor quality and facilities, weak post-training placement mechanisms, and fragmented institutional coordination. The study recommends strengthening all implementation dimensions to achieve more effective and impactful labor programs.
