The study was conducted at 31 vocational schools in Surabaya, particulary the accounting department. The study concludes that the implementation of National Education Standard results in good education quality; however, the academic achievement is not used as a reference bythese graduates in obtaining job relevant to their expertise. It is expected that later researchers focus on softskill variables or other possible mediating relationships between the SNP and the graduates’ profession. Also, the further researchers need to extent the object of the study.
