Using Data Mining to Find Patterns Related to Interest and Work Readiness of Students in the Culinary Diploma Program as Indonesian Food Cooks

Several studies have shown that the expertise of young chefs graduating from culinary diploma programs in Indonesia who specialize in Indonesian food has not been able to demonstrate their expertise according to stakeholder needs. The implementation of the curriculum in certain subjects is expected to have an impact on the growing interest of students to take the course and will also affect work readiness in their fields. This study uses data mining techniques to process data obtained from closed instruments distributed to 60 students from 6 universities in Indonesia. As a result, there are some interesting patterns between curriculum management and the interests of young chefs that can be extracted from the data obtained.
