Increasing Students' Confidence in Selecting Career Choices Through University Carrier Development Module
Abstract
At the end of each academic year, all students who are in their final year of study at the Universiti Teknologi MARA Terengganu Campus are required to enrol in a module that focuses on career preparation. Multiple aspects of a student's professional development as well as an integrated learning experience at work are incorporated into the curriculum. The primary purpose of this research is to evaluate whether or not the learning activities and assessment tasks included in the module have a positive impact on students' confidence in their ability to make good decisions regarding their future careers. Following the start of a work placement experience, there was a webinar on several carrier modules that was held. This webinar included exercises that were tied to the improvement of the model's first three stages, which were self-awareness, opportunity awareness, and ambitions. A questionnaire was given to the participants both before and after the session. When the findings were compared, it was found that there were significant differences between the students' levels of self-confidence, vocational knowledge, and goal setting.
