The resulting imbalance in students’ soft skills and hard skills will result in the competency needs of the business world and the industrial world workforce not being met because hard skills and soft skills are important factors in students’ preparation for entering the business world and the industrial world. Vocational School students are required to take part in the Field Work Practice program which is useful for improving soft skills and increasing experience and understanding of the world of work. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of field work practices on students’ readiness to face the business and industrial world. The data collection technique uses a questionnaire technique. Data collection uses data frequency distribution and other tests such as normality and paired sample t test. Based on the results of the data analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded. Implementation of practical field work is considered effective in students’ readiness to face the business and industrial world. As can be seen from the T test results using the Paired Sample T Test, it shows that the Sig. 0.000 < 0.05 then Ha is accepted, namely there is a very significant difference between the average value of the pretest and posttest. The results of the paired sample t test showed that the mean value of students’ post-readiness was higher than students’ pre-readiness. This shows an increase in students’ readiness to face the business and industrial world after carrying out practical field work.
