Transformasi industri digital telah mengubah kebutuhan kompetensi lulusan perguruan tinggi sehingga mahasiswa tidak hanya dituntut memiliki kompetensi akademik, tetapi juga kesiapan karier (career readiness) yang sesuai dengan dinamika dunia kerja. Namun, berbagai program pendampingan karier di perguruan tinggi masih didominasi oleh penyampaian informasi yang bersifat umum dan belum terintegrasi dengan pengembangan pengalaman berbasis proyek. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan mengimplementasikan Project-Oriented Career Readiness Framework (PCRF) sebagai model pendampingan untuk meningkatkan kesiapan karier mahasiswa dalam menghadapi industri digital. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 8 Mei 2026 di Fakultas Teknologi Komunikasi dan Informatika (FTKI) Universitas Nasional dan diikuti oleh 156 mahasiswa peserta Yudisium Tahun Akademik 2025/2026. Metode yang digunakan berupa pendampingan partisipatif melalui lima tahapan PCRF, yaitu Industry Insight, Self and Skill Mapping, Career Planning, Project and Portfolio Development, serta Career Readiness Evaluation. Evaluasi kegiatan mengacu pada model Kirkpatrick pada aspek Reaction dan Learning melalui observasi partisipatif, diskusi interaktif, refleksi peserta, dokumentasi, dan umpan balik lisan. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa implementasi PCRF mampu memfasilitasi mahasiswa dalam memahami perkembangan industri digital, mengidentifikasi kompetensi yang dimiliki, menyusun perencanaan karier, serta membangun portofolio profesional berbasis pengalaman proyek. Tingginya partisipasi dan antusiasme peserta selama kegiatan mengindikasikan bahwa pendekatan pendampingan berbasis proyek memberikan pengalaman belajar yang lebih kontekstual dibandingkan seminar karier konvensional. Dengan demikian, Project-Oriented Career Readiness Framework (PCRF) berpotensi menjadi model pendampingan kesiapan karier yang dapat direplikasi pada berbagai program pengembangan mahasiswa di perguruan tinggi untuk mendukung peningkatan daya saing lulusan menghadapi industri digital.
