Work readiness is an important aspect for vocational high school (SMK) students in facing the demands of the workforce, and one psychological factor that contributes to it is self-confidence, which helps students adapt, make decisions, and confront professional challenges. This study aimed to examine the relationship between self-confidence and work readiness among twelfth-grade students at SMKN X in Salatiga using a quantitative correlational approach. The study involved 100 students selected by cluster sampling. The research instruments included a work readiness scale based on aspects from Caballero et al. (2011) and a self-confidence scale based on the theory of Lauster (2012). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between self-confidence and work readiness (r = 0,670; p < 0,001), indicating that higher levels of self-confidence are associated with higher levels of work readiness. These findings underscore the importance of school programs focused on enhancing students’ self-confidence to support the work readiness of SMK graduates
