Penelitian ini bertujuan guna menganalisis pengaruh internship quality, professional competence dan career orientation terhadap work readiness peserta magang pada perusahaan BUMN di Surabaya. Urgensi studi ini dilandasi oleh adanya kesenjangan kompetensi dan tingginya angka pengangguran terdidik. Jenis penelitian ini adalah asosiatif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Berdasarkan perhitungan rumus Cochran, jumlah sampel yang ditetapkan adalah 196 responden yang dipilih melalui teknik purposive sampling. Seluruh data kemudian dianalisis dengan model regresi linier berganda menggunakan aplikasi SPSS versi 26. Hasil penelitian mengonfirmasi bahwa secara simultan maupun parsial, internship quality, professional competence dan career orientation berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap work readiness, sehingga seluruh hipotesis penelitian diterima. Sebagian besar fluktuasi kesiapan kerja mampu dijelaskan oleh akumulasi ketiga prediktor tersebut, sedangkan selebihnya ditentukan oleh faktor luar di luar model. Temuan ini membuktikan professional competence sebagai faktor paling dominan, oleh karena itu, pihak manajemen BUMN di Surabaya perlu menempatkan pengasahan keahlian teknis peserta magang sebagai prioritas utama, yang didukung oleh peningkatan kualitas pendampingan mentor serta penguatan arah karier untuk mencetak tenaga kerja siap pakai.
This study examines how internship quality, professional competence, and career orientation shape the work readiness of SOEs’ interns in Surabaya. The urgency of this study is driven by the existing competence gap and the high rate of educated unemployment. This type of research is associative with a quantitative approach. Based on the Cochran formula calculation, a sample size of 196 respondents was determined, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Statistical evaluations were performed using a multiple linear regression model via SPSS version 26. The research findings confirm that simultaneously and partially, internship quality, professional competence, and career orientation have a positive and significant effect on work readiness, thereby accepting all proposed research hypotheses. A major proportion of the fluctuation in work readiness is explained by the accumulation of these three predictors, while the remainder is determined by external factors outside the model. As professional competence emerges as the most dominant factor, the management of SOEs in Surabaya must prioritize sharpening the interns' technical skills as a primary strategy, supported by enhancing the quality of mentor guidance and strengthening career direction to produce a job-ready workforce.
