Halal executives play an essential role in a Halal-certified company. Core
competencies are generally associated with work productivity, performance and organizational
performance. Therefore, it is crucial to prepare future halal executives, evaluate halal
executives' practices in the workplace, and for their lifelong professional development. Halalrelated program studies offered in Malaysia still need to implement work-based learning
approaches. Thus, the work readiness of Halal graduates is yet to be defined. In addition to
that, Malaysian graduates are regarded as lacking in employability attributes. The present
studies' purpose is to analyze halal graduates’ readiness for the core competency domain of
Halal Executive and to investigate the importance of readiness to work for the core competency
domain of Halal Executive based on Halal undergraduate perspective. Simple random
sampling was utilized in this study. This research uses quantitative approaches and the Krejcie
Morgan method for sampling N130 = 104 respondents. A total of 104 questionnaires were
distributed through Google Forms. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software.
Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the impact of the level of readiness and importance
for the core competency domain of Halal Executive among Halal Management undergraduate
students. The results show that the level of readiness is moderate with a mean value of 3.979.
The current program core syllabus appears to influence the readiness level in providing the
knowledge on core competencies of Halal Executives. This study can benefit the student to face
the world of work in the future, especially in the field related to halal.
