Students' work readiness is one of the important indicators in the success of universities that aim to create superior and competent graduates. However, reality shows that there are still many graduates from universities in Indonesia who find it difficult to get a job due to the lack of skills and high work motivation in each individual student. Through the internship programme, students can feel various benefits, namely direct experience, building professional networks, and increasing self-confidence in facing the world of work. On the other hand, the internship programme cannot be the only benchmark in student work readiness, there are other factors that also contribute to it, one of which is motivation in students. There is research that states that motivation is the main factor in the level of work readiness in final year students which also has an impact on the national unemployment rate.This study aims to analyze and evaluate the internship program, work motivation, and work readiness of students who take part in the internship program at PT Aerofood Indonesia Surabaya Unit. This study uses quantitative methods with multiple regression analysis and the sampling technique used is a saturated sample of 59 students of several universities. The results showed that there was a simultaneous influence between the variables of the internship program and work motivation on student work readiness. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant influence between the internship programme variables and work readiness partially. inversely proportional to this, testing on work motivation shows a significant influence on student work readiness while simultaneously showing a significant influence between the internship programme variables and work motivation.
