Abstract

Career readiness is crucial for students in determining their career decisions after completing their studies, especially at the vocational school level. This research aims to investigate the influence of implementing Trait and Factor Career Counseling Services to enhance students' career readiness at SMK Negeri 1 Palopo. The population for this study consisted of 85 students from the second grade of TKJ department, and through a pre-test, 9 students were identified with very low to low career readiness. This study used a pre-experimental research design with a one-group pretest-post-test approach. It began with a pre-test which was conducted through questionnaire distribution, followed by the provision of career counseling services, and concluded with a post-test. Data was collected using a scale measuring career readiness, validated and confirmed for reliability through product moment correlation and Cronbach's Alpha. Career counseling services were administered to the sample, and the results show a significant improvement in career readiness post-intervention, supported by paired sample statistics and hypothesis testing using SPSS. These findings indicate that Trait and Factor-based career counseling positively influences students' career readiness.
