Abstract- This study examines the development of Industrial Habits and Career Readiness among vocational students majoring in Electrical Technology through participation in Work-Integrated Learning (WiL) programs. Employing a mixed-methods research design, the study collected quantitative data from 84 student interns using a 27-item behavioral questionnaire structured around nine core dimensions and rated on a five-point frequency scale. Complementary qualitative data were gathered from open-ended responses describing students’ real-world learning experiences during workplace training. The quantitative results indicate that students demonstrated consistently high levels of behavioral development, with overall mean scores ranging from 4.40 to 4.71. Among the most prominent behaviors were demonstrates responsibility in performing assigned tasks (xˉ=4.71) and Clear communication of tasks/problems to supervisors and colleagues and Reports to work on time as scheduled (xˉ=4.68). The lowest-scoring behavior involved Avoiding unrelated personal activities (e.g., mobile phone use at work) (xˉ=3.92), suggesting that this competency may require further attention. These results collectively highlight the positive impact of structured workplace training on students’ professional readiness. Qualitative findings further illustrate significant developmental gains across three major domains: teamwork and communication, responsibility and discipline, and advanced technical problem-solving. Students frequently reported substantial learning growth through engagement with complex technical challenges, such as diagnosing short circuits in electrical control cabinets and analyzing entire motor systems holistically rather than focusing on isolated components. These experiences enabled students to apply theoretical knowledge in authentic industrial contexts, thereby enhancing their confidence, accountability, and professional maturity. The combination of behavioral data and experiential insights supports the conclusion that the WiL model is highly effective in cultivating key professional competencies among Electrical Technology students. Overall, the program contributes meaningfully to students’ preparedness for entering the industrial workforce by strengthening their technical communication abilities, work discipline, and capacity to solve real-world engineering problems.
