Abstract
The job readiness of college graduates varies for each individual. This depends on the individual's goals, motivation, and orientation. Field work practices have succeeded in helping students improve their work abilities, namely soft skills and technical skills. This research aims to analyse the motivational characteristics and work readiness of accounting students. This research uses quantitative methods and descriptive statistics. Sampling used the purposive sampling technique. The data used is primary data obtained through the distribution of questionnaires. The sample for this research was 102 student respondents who had taken part in an internship. The research results show that the average motivation and work readiness are higher for male students who have academic achievements and have internships at public accounting firms. Students who have a business background have high work readiness. Students who intern at private companies have lower average motivation and work readiness. The average internship experience is higher for interns at public accounting firms than at government agencies and private companies. Students who have higher academic achievements get better internship experiences than students who have no academic achievements
