Abstrak
Pengangguran merupakan sebuah masalah serius di suatu negara khususnya Indonesia. Pengangguran
umumnya disebabkan karena jumlah angkatan kerja tidak sebanding dengan jumlah lapangan kerja yang
tersedia. Hal ini terjadi karena negara belum mampu menyediakan lapangan pekerjaan untuk para tenaga
kerja, juga menyangkut kualitas dan produktivitas tenaga kerja itu sendiri. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini
dilakukan untuk mengevaluasi program peningkatan kualitas dan produktivitas tenaga kerja di Unit
Pelaksana Teknis Balai Latihan Kerja Dinas Ketenagakerjaan Kabupaten Deli Serdang. Jenis penelitian dan
pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif

yang ingin diteliti. Informan pada penelitian ini yaitu Kepala Unit Pelaksana Teknis Balai Latihan Kerja Dinas
