THE EFFECT OF INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE AND SCHOOL PRACTICAL TRAINING ON THE WORK READINESS OF GRADE XII STUDENTS AT THE JABAL NOOR EXCELLENCY MADRASAH ALIYAH

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of industrial work practices ( Internship ) and school work practices on the employability of class XII students of Madrasah Aliyah Unggulan Jabal Noor. Quantitative research with a causal regression approach was used with 90 students as respondents. Data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed by statistical tests such as normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests with the help of SPSS and Microsoft Excel software. The results showed that industrial work practices and school practices had a significant effect on students' work readiness. The t-count value of Prakerin (9.688) and school practice (11.305) is higher than the t-table (1.622 and 1.662), and the significance level is lower than 0.05. The frequency distribution illustrates that internship practice is high, while work readiness and school practice are moderate. This observation is in line with the fact that both practices are important in exposing students to the world of work, although school facilities and learning environment still need to be improved. It is suggested in this study that there should be more coordination between industries and schools, as well as direct participation from teachers and parents to provide support to students while practicing.
