The purpose of this study is to examine how maturity and work experience impact students' readiness for work in a study-while-working program in Taiwan. In the context of human resource management (HRM), maturity and work experience are crucial factors influencing an individual's readiness to enter the workforce. The study used a quantitative approach, involving 40 students as respondents. Data was collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale to measure maturity, work experience, and work readiness. The results indicated that maturity and work experience have a positive and significant influence on students' work readiness. In other words, students with higher levels of maturity and more work experience demonstrate greater readiness to enter the workforce. This finding underscores the importance of self-development and gaining work experience during the study period to better prepare students for future professional challenges. The implications of this study suggest the necessity for a more structured job training and skills development program to enhance students' work readiness. This research is expected to offer valuable insights for education managers and policymakers to improve the work readiness of Indonesian students, particularly those participating in work-study programs.
