Career Guidance Program for the Development of Career Planning among Islamic Senior High School Students

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of career guidance programs in developing career planning for ninth-grade students at Madrasah Aaliyah Persis 1 in Bandung for the 2024/2025 academic year. This study uses a quantitative approach with a one-group pre-test post-test design, a pre-experimental method. The research subjects consisted of 31 students selected through simple random sampling. The instrument used was a career planning questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach's Alpha = 0.942). Data analysis using a paired sample t-test showed no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores (p > 0.05). This means this study's career guidance program did not develop students' career planning. The conclusion of this study shows that although the career guidance program was well designed, it did not significantly improve students' career planning. The implication of this study is the need to improve and develop a more targeted career guidance program, taking into account other aspects that can influence students' career planning, such as motivation and external support.
