<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of career motivation and industrial work practice experience (Prakerin) on the work readiness of students at SMK Perkasa 1 Sumedang. The research employs a quantitative method, with data collected via questionnaires from 60 students who have completed Prakerin. The results indicate that career motivation influences work readiness by 42.6%, with a correlation coefficient of 0.653, while industrial work practice experience influences it by 55.8%, with a correlation coefficient of 0.747. Simultaneously, both variables contribute 61.6% to work readiness, with the remaining 38.4% influenced by factors outside there search model. These findings underscore the importance of developing industry-relevant skills, both technical and non-technical, such as communication, time management, teamwork, and work ethic. Therefore, schools must map competency needs and strengthen synergies with the business and industrial world (DUDI) to comprehensively enhance students' work readiness.]]>
