Abstract

The digital transformation era has significantly reshaped the
competencies required for workforce entry, particularly accounting.
This study empirically examines the influence of professionalism,
measured by accounting competency certification, and literacy,
measured by digital and human literacy, on career readiness in
accounting. A quantitative research design was employed, involving
97 accounting graduates from various universities in the Surakarta
Residency area, selected using purposive sampling.
The results indicate that accounting competency certification, digital
literacy, and human literacy each significantly and positively affect
accounting career readiness. Among these factors, human literacy
exhibits the most substantial influence, underscoring the importance
of critical thinking, emotional intelligence, empathy, collaboration, and
ethical decision-making in preparing individuals' career readiness.
