Abstract

When it comes to school graduates, career management skills are key components that each individual must possess. This is due to the importance of the vocation selection process. One of the biggest reasons students choose a career that does not suit them is that they are less informed of their possibilities at the end of high school. The situation is highly worrying, and it has a lot of negative implications, including increasing work stress and the need to change jobs regularly. In fact, records show that the majority of vocational students have a low level of career management. As a result, the goal of this research is to determine students' career management talents. The research design included a survey with a sample size of 200 participants and a quantitative technique. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences statistical programme (SPSS). According to the data, students' overall career management abilities are of middling quality. Career management skills are critical for creating human capital with the necessary competences that may be used to fill shortages in the industry.
