ABSTRACT : Human capital is crucial for economic success in business and industry. Recruitment of skilled human resources significantly contributes to achieving organizational goals, especially in regions like West Java, Indonesia, where there’s a misalignment between the available labor force’s skills and market needs. This study examines work readiness in the Industry 4.0 era, focusing on self-efficacy, digital mindset, and resilience. The quantitative research confirms a positive relationship among these variables, suggesting that work readiness is enhanced by a strong self-belief in one’s capabilities, adaptability in a digitalized environment, and the ability to bounce back from adversity. The findings advocate for targeted development in these areas, especially for Bank Indonesia scholarship recipients, to align workforce competencies with market expectations, thereby reducing unemployment and promoting economic growth.

KEYWORDS – Digital mindset, Industry 4.0, resilience, self-efficacy, work readiness.
