Results demonstrated that: (1) internship experience significantly and positively influenced work readiness (t = 4.509 > 1.980, p < .001); (2) information technology mastery significantly and positively influenced work readiness (t = 2.589 > 1.980, p = .011); and (3) internship experience and information technology mastery jointly exhibited significant positive effects on work readiness (F = 36.164 > 3.07, p < .001). The coefficient of determination (R²) was .374, indicating that both variables explained 37.4% of work readiness variance.Keywords: business and industry sector; information technology skills; professional readiness; quantitative analysis
