This study investigates the impact of job-readiness skills on career adaptability in the context of a rapidly changing labor market. Job-readiness skills, including communication, problem-solving, teamwork, self-management, and digital competence, are examined as key factors supporting successful career transitions. Career adaptability is viewed through four dimensions: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence.

Adopting a quantitative research approach, data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between job-readiness skills and career adaptability, showing that individuals with stronger job-readiness skills are better equipped to manage career changes, uncertainty, and future workplace challenges.

The study emphasizes the need to incorporate job-readiness skill development into educational and training programs to enhance career adaptability. Its findings offer useful implications for educators, policymakers, and organizations aiming to strengthen workforce preparedness and promote sustainable career development.
