This article discusses the results of partnerships between the government and the private sector in human capital investment in industry partners AK Tekstil Solo. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. The primary data were obtained through focus group discussion and observation. The research was conducted on the AK Tekstil Solo with the textile and garment industry partners. The result of this research is the ongoing partnership between the government and the private sector has not been able to meet the human capital needs of the textile and garment industry. The workforce that is an investment in a company does not have the expected soft skills even though the hard skills are adequate.
