The graduates of both vocational high school (VHS) and academic high school (AHS) are in a very keen competition in the labor market in Indonesia. Even though both of them have different goals, but in the fact 40% AHS graduates in Indonesia jump into labor market. So that, this article examines owners’ view point on employability of graduates from VHS and AHS who are working on Indonesia’s fashion creative industry (FCI). Using head to head comparison, twenty-four FCI owners in Indonesia were interviewed. Data were collected through open-ended interviews. A major finding is VHS graduates who are working in FCI more expected to be employees by owners, but they have weaknesses on work attitude, productivity, and adaptability skill. While, AHS graduates have lack on technical skill, but average FCI owners' view point prefer to hire AHS graduates. FCI owners’ strategies to enhance employability both of them are fostering through training and support the employees to join fashion competition.
