From the results of the study it can be described that the perceptions of high school students about the KPI study program are that they are generally not familiar with this study program and only a few students do, such as vocational students who do internships in the KPI study program, this is due to a lack of promotion and no KPI student activities like preaching to school before the previous Covid-19 pandemic.
