<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Field Work Practice (PKL) program in managing the placement of interns at PT. Aristek Highpolymer, focusing on participant eligibility requirements, pre-practice preparation, on-site implementation, outcomes achieved, and participants’ impressions of the industrial world. This study employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive method through data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that PKL participants generally demonstrated good preparedness prior to the program through fulfillment of pre-PKL requirements and guidance from academic advisors and field supervisors. During the program, participants were actively engaged in various work activities and responsibilities, thereby gaining hands-on experience that enhanced both their technical competencies and soft skills. Nevertheless, there were still instances of mismatches between placement assignments and participants’ fields of expertise, which hindered the optimal development of specific competencies. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the placement system and strengthen guidance through collaboration between educational institutions and industry partners to ensure that the implementation of the internship program is more effective and relevant to the needs of the workforce.]]>
