<![CDATA[Nonformal vocational training is increasingly required to prepare learners not only with technical competence but also with career readiness. However, limited empirical evidence explains how adult-oriented curriculum practices and learners’ self-regulation contribute to career readiness in nonformal vocational training institutions. This study aimed to examine the association between andragogical curriculum orientation, self-regulated learning, and career readiness among learners at LKP Lussy Surabaya. A quantitative ex post facto correlational design was applied using questionnaire data from 65 valid learners. Andragogical curriculum orientation was measured through self-concept, experience, readiness to learn, learning orientation, and learning motivation; self-regulated learning was measured through forethought, performance, and self-reflection; and career readiness was measured through concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. The results showed that andragogical curriculum orientation and self-regulated learning were positively and significantly associated with career readiness, with self-regulated learning emerging as the stronger predictor. Simultaneously, both variables explained 70.7% of the variance in career readiness. These findings indicate that career readiness in nonformal vocational training is shaped by adult-oriented learning experiences and learners’ regulatory capacity. This study provides an empirical basis for rethinking curriculum orientation beyond technical skill delivery toward stronger support for career readiness.]]>
