Perkembangan teknologi digital dan dinamika dunia kerja menuntut mahasiswa memiliki kesiapan kerja yang didukung oleh kompetensi digital dan kemampuan adaptasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan peran kompetensi digital dan adaptabilitas dalam membentuk kesiapan kerja mahasiswa Universitas Islam Raden Rahmat Malang. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan pengumpulan data melalui wawancara terhadap mahasiswa dari berbagai program studi. Data dianalisis melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa telah memiliki kompetensi digital dasar yang mencakup penggunaan Microsoft Office, Canva, serta berbagai platform pembelajaran digital. Meskipun demikian, kemampuan tersebut masih perlu dikembangkan agar lebih sesuai dengan tuntutan dunia kerja yang terus berkembang. Temuan penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan adaptasi memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam membantu mahasiswa menghadapi perubahan teknologi, lingkungan kerja, dan berbagai tantangan profesional. Selain itu, keterlibatan dalam kegiatan akademik maupun nonakademik berkontribusi terhadap pengembangan soft skill, seperti komunikasi, kerja sama tim, pemecahan masalah, dan kepercayaan diri. Secara keseluruhan, penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa penguatan kompetensi digital dan adaptabilitas merupakan aspek penting dalam meningkatkan kesiapan kerja mahasiswa secara komprehensif
