Readiness is the quality of being able or willing to do something or the state of being prepared, prompt, willing, at ease, or having a facility. This study aims to determine upcoming graduates' ability to grasp life's reality. The study will analyze students' mastery of the Hospitality Management Program regarding their readiness to approach the working environment, especially the students of Bestlink College of the Philippines who are graduating in the course of BSHM.
The researchers conducted quantitative research with a descriptive approach and used simple random sampling techniques. They used Google Forms to survey fifty (50) random graduating BSHM students as the study's respondents.
The study revealed that almost all of the BSHM graduating students of Bestlink College of the Philippines are very ready when it comes to assessing their readiness level in terms of knowledge and skills. They are also satisfied with assessing the working environment regarding motivational aspects, internal communication, recognition and rewards, and management and style. However, the results reveal that they could be more highly and extremely ready to approach the working environment. They are also not very satisfied in assessing their working environment.
The researchers recommend that the school administration develop extensive training and seminars to expand opportunities for the students to practice hands-on activities that assess their skills in the chosen field. They should also enhance relationships with their partner companies through collaboration in enhancing the students' skill sets. The administration should have partnerships with companies related to the program and conduct familiarization concerning assessing the working environment for greater knowledge acquired by the student. Additionally, the researchers recommended the administration apply the following assessment tools: practical examination, interviews, and written examination.
