This study aims to analyze the effects of career planning and self-efficacy on the work readiness of participants in Competency-Based Training (CBT) at the Miftahul Ulum Community Vocational Training Center (BLK) in Tasikmalaya City. The study employed a quantitative approach with descriptive and verification methods, using a census technique involving 60 participants. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 31 at a 5% significance level. The results indicate that career planning and self-efficacy simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on work readiness. Partially, both variables also have positive and significant effects on work readiness, with self-efficacy showing a relatively stronger effect. The model yielded an R value of 0.703 and an R² value of 0.494, indicating that 49.4% of the variation in work readiness can be explained by career planning and self-efficacy, while the remaining 50.6% is explained by other factors outside the model. The findings indicate the importance of integrating technical competency development, career planning, and self-efficacy enhancement in the implementation of vocational training programs.
