Career planning is an individual process of preparing to choose, design, and determine the career field to pursue. The initial step in career planning is self-understanding. Therefore, students need to be provided with classical guidance to enhance their self-understanding in career planning. The addition of technology-based multimedia is also used to attract students' attention during the guidance process. This study aims to examine the influence of classical guidance assisted by multimedia in improving self-understanding for career planning among students at MAN 2 Kota Pekanbaru. This research employs a quantitative approach using experimental methods. The subjects were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of one class of 36 tenth-grade students with the lowest average scores. The results indicate significant differences before and after the classical guidance intervention, as evidenced by a t-test significance value of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.05. Classical guidance also showed a significant influence, contributing a determinant coefficient of 50.6%. The study concludes that classical guidance assisted by multimedia effectively enhances self-understanding in students' career planning. Future researchers are encouraged to explore other aspects and incorporate more up-to-date media.
