Work Readiness: a Review of the Influence of Industrial Practice and Vehicle Tune-Up Competency

. This study aims to examine the effect of industrial practice work programs and vehicle tune-up competencies on job readiness. A quantitative research using an ex-post facto approach was selected to test hypotheses based on existing facts. 169 respondents were selected as part of the cluster randomization technique. The data were collected through tests and observations and analyzed using the SPSS software. The results showed that (1) there was a positive effect on practical work programs on job readiness with a contribution of 14.7%; (2) positive influence of tune-up engine competency on job readiness with a contribution of 72.1%; and (3) both have the effect of 23.3% simultaneously. The important factors in preparing for employment are the supply of vocational training students prior to the implementation of industrial practice programs and increased opportunities to put development drivers into practice.
