THE INFLUENCE OF SOFT SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND PROBLEM SOLVING ABILITY ON WORK READINESS AT PAMULANG UNIVERSITY

Abstract

This study examines the influence of soft skills development and problem-solving ability on the job readiness of students at Pamulang University. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey approach and multiple regression analysis. The sample was selected through purposive sampling, consisting of approximately 200 final-year students. The expected results indicate that both soft skills development and problem-solving ability have a positive and significant effect on job readiness, and jointly explain a substantial proportion of its variance. The findings will be recommended for the development of curriculum and training programs at the university.
