Abstract : Quality education involves teachers, infrastructure, facilities, and management. Vocational high schools (SMK) prepare students for employment or entrepreneurship in their chosen fields. However, the high unemployment rate among vocational high school’s graduates indicates a gap between their competencies and industry demands. To address this issue, the government has implemented the "Merdeka Curriculum" and supporting programs such as Teaching Factory (TEFA). The goal of this method is to create a teaching model for entrepreneurship education in vocational high schools that is based on the Teaching Factory (TEFA) methodology. A literature review is the research approach employed, and the sources include books, journal articles, and websites that may be accessed via Google Scholar and ResearchGate. The research stages consist of planning, implementation, and reporting. TEFA is a production-based learning approach that fosters thinking critically and ability to solve problems, connects students with the industrial world, and boosts students self-confidence, according to the compiled articles. Integrating entrepreneurship into TEFA is expected to improve students' practical skills, creativity, and job readiness, making vocational high schools graduates more competitive and capable of contributing to the economy.
