<![CDATA[Career planning is one of the important aspects of adolescent development, especially for vocational high school (SMK) students who are being prepared to enter the workforce or continue their education to a higher level. However, many students still face confusion in determining a career choice that matches their interests and potential. This study aims to describe the career interest profile of students through the use of the RIASEC (Holland) Test and analyze its contribution to students' career planning. The method used is a quantitative descriptive approach with 27 students from class XII DKV 1 at SMK Negeri 1 Lemahabang as the research subjects. The instrument used is the RIASEC Career Interest Inventory Test, which identifies six types of career personalities: Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. The research results show that the most dominant career personality type is Enterprising with 8 students (29.63%), followed by Artistic with 6 students (22.22%), Realistic with 5 students (18.52%), Social with 4 students (14.81%), and Investigative and Conventional with 2 students each (7.41%). These findings indicate that most students tend to have qualities in leadership, entrepreneurship, and creativity. By taking the RIASEC test, students gain a better understanding of their interests, potential, and the career paths that suit their characteristics. Thus, using the RIASEC test has been proven to help increase students' self-awareness as a foundation for creating more focused and realistic career planning.]]>
