Abstract

This study examines the influence of field work practice experience and work skills on the work readiness of students in the Marketing Expertise Program at SMK Negeri 3 Balikpapan. A quantitative explanatory research design was used. The sample consisted of all 139 eleventh-grade students in the Marketing Expertise Program who had completed field work practice, selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a 1–4 Likert-scale questionnaire covering field work practice experience, work skills, and work readiness. Multiple linear regression was conducted using SPSS version 27. The results indicate that field work practice experience has a positive and statistically significant association with work readiness (t = 5.122, p < .001, B = 0.247). Work skills also show a positive and statistically significant association with work readiness (t = 9.172, p < .001, B = 0.455). Together, the two independent variables significantly predict work readiness (F = 232.598, p < .001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.774) indicates that the model explains 77.4% of the variation in students’ work readiness, while the remaining 22.6% is associated with factors outside the model
