In the rapidly evolving digital era, the workforce is undergoing a significant transformation, requiring college graduates to have relevant skills. There is a marked skills gap between academic education and industry demands, leading to rising unemployment rates among educated graduates. Online bootcamp programs have emerged as a solution to improve employability by offering intensive, industry-aligned training with mentorship. The effectiveness of these online bootcamps in preparing students for the job market remains to be fully researched, with various factors influencing work readiness. This study aims to analyze how online bootcamp programs contribute to students' work readiness. The study was conducted quantitatively using linear regression analysis with data obtained from 38 respondents. Based on the results of the study, it shows that Online Bootcamp (X) is consistently a significant factor and has a positive influence on Work Readiness (Y). Additionally, the analysis's findings indicate that the independent variables contribute 47.3% to the dependent variable being studied.
