Industry requires that polytechnics prepare basic knowledge and competence of their students before they follow activities of teaching and learning in the industry. This paper is to discuss partnership program implementation carried out between polytechnics and industry in the remote area, a model of sustainable partnerships of the teaching program between polytechnics and local industry, and benefits of a partnership program between polytechnics and local industry. These are conducted to create graduates, according to labor market needs. The partnership program is also more optimal if it supported by a good communication between Polytechnic, industry, and government.
