The partnership model between vocational educational institutions and industries, known as Public-Private Partnership (PPP), plays an important role to overcome the skill gaps requirement between vocational educational institutions graduates and industries. The aim of this research is to provide information and feedback on understanding the perspective of industries in PPP model. The research method was focused on quantitative descriptive approach by questionnaire dispersion. This research involved 20 engineering industries in Indonesia. The results showed that the implementation of PPP improved the cooperation between vocational educational institutions and industries, and produced more highly skills workers in terms of industries perspective. This attributes to the job-related work process for the students during their learning process. However, the challenges of PPP model Is an inadequate investment in training infrastructure, facilities and staff development due to the lack of government support, and the mismatch between the industries requirement and the vocational educational institutions. In general, it can be concluded that the implementation of PPP will significantly reduce the skill gaps problems.
