<![CDATA[The increasingly competitive dynamics of the global labor market, driven by globalization and digitalization, require university graduates to develop high adaptability to face career challenges. This study aims to examine the relationship between career adaptability and perceived future employability among university students in Jakarta. The study employed a quantitative correlational approach with purposive sampling, involving 390 students aged 18–29 from various universities in Jakarta. The instruments used were the Career Adapt-Ability Scale-Short Form (CAAS-SF) and the Perceived Future Employability Scale (PFES). The validity test results showed that CAAS-SF items had coefficients ranging from 0.419 to 0.751 and PFES from 0.501 to 0.789, all above the acceptable threshold of r > 0.30. Reliability analysis showed high internal consistency (CAAS-SF: ? = 0.874; PFES: ? = 0.947). Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between career adaptability and perceived future employability (r = 0.691; p < 0.001). These findings suggest that the higher the level of career adaptability among students, the more positive their perceptions of future employment prospects.
