Abstract

This study aims to develop the Career-Ready Hub bootcamp model based on an integrated recruitment simulation platform to accelerate work readiness of grade XII students at SMK PGRI 2 Pasuruan. The open unemployment rate of SMK graduates at 8.62% (BPS, 2024) and low field-relevant employment absorption (41.3%) constitute the research background. Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE-DBR model was employed. Needs analysis was conducted on 80 grade XII students and 8 industry HRD managers. Product validation involved 5 expert validators (mean 87.3%; Very Valid). Effectiveness testing applied a quasi-experimental Nonequivalent Control Group design with 124 students (n=62 experimental; n=62 control). The Career Readiness Assessment Tool (CRAT) comprising 60 items across 6 dimensions (alpha=.889) served as the measurement instrument. Results indicate a highly significant difference between experimental (M_gain=23.73) and control (M_gain=8.06) groups (t(122)=22.46; p<.001; d=5.72). MANOVA confirms effectiveness across all six work readiness dimensions (F(6,117)=89.43; p<.001; eta2=.815). Career-Ready Hub is proven effective and practical as an innovative work readiness bootcamp model for vocational education.
