Purpose: This study aims to map the vocational skills competitiveness of ASEAN member states and analyze the core drivers behind Indonesia’s dominance in WorldSkills ASEAN 2023 to address regional competency disparities. Method: A quantitative descriptive design utilizing descriptive statistics was executed. The dataset comprised total sampling secondary data of official awards (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Medallion for Excellence) across 10 ASEAN participating countries, gathered through systematic documentation. Findings: Indonesia secured first place with 27 total awards (14 Gold, 8 Silver, 2 Bronze, 3 Medallions for Excellence), surpassing Singapore (26) and Malaysia (15). Dominance was particularly pronounced in engineering technology (Industrial Automation, Mechatronics, Mobile Robotics, Refrigeration & Air-Conditioning) and ICT (IT Network Systems Administration, Internet of Things). These findings validate the efficacy of national vocational reforms, including the Teaching Factory model and multi-tiered selection systems. Practical implications: Provides action-oriented insights for vocational educators and policymakers to recalibrate competency-based curricula, deepen industry link-and-match frameworks, and standardize cross-border skill certifications. Originality/value: This paper offers a rigorous empirical benchmark of regional technical skills proficiency based on full 2023 competition metrics, establishing a holistic framework for vocational workforce evaluation in ASEAN.
