Unemployed graduates continue to be a growing problem in Malaysia. There are employers who consider academic competence alone is not enough and started asking for higher education institutions to produce graduates who are equipped with technical skills. This study is a survey to determine the readiness of electrical engineering students from the technical skills of forming workability in polytechnics. A total of 113 respondents were selected for the study. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire containing 60 items. A pilot study was conducted to determine the value of alpha for the instrument in which the alpha value for the aspect of technical skills is α = 0.962 and for the workability is α = 0954. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science Version 20 (SPSS 20). The descriptive analysis in the form of mean score was used to see the readiness of students. The study found that the level of preparedness of students in electrical engineering from the technical skills of forming workability in polytechnics are at high level. The study also showed that there is a difference between male and female students of technical aspects that affect the willingness of students to the formation of workability.
