Abstract

ABSTRACT
Work readiness is defined as the level of physical, mental, and work experience preparedness of an individual to effectively perform activities or tasks. This article aims to provide an overview of how the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program can shape students^ work readiness. This research employs a literature review approach by collecting references from previous studies. Students can participate in the MBKM program, which is currently organized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemendikbudristek) or departments/faculties at higher education institutions. Through this program, students are exposed to real-world work environments and engage in projects provided by companies or relevant partners. These experiences contribute to developing hard skills, intrapersonal soft skills, and interpersonal soft skills that support students^ work readiness.

Keywords: Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), Work Readiness, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Soft Skills.
