As a person progresses through Senior High School, he or she will experience situations that demand them to make proper educational, vocational, and social decisions. This emphasizes the need of schools providing programs that help students decide whether they want to pursue further education or enter the workforce right away. This study deeply analyzes how career development and university preparation programs are designed and implemented at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Irtiqo’. The qualitative approach of descriptive analysis was adopted. The data was collected through interview, documentation, and observation techniques. Then, analyzed by collection, coding, thematic analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that Madrasah Aliyah Al-Irtiqo' has established an Achievement and Career Development Division, which has designed and implemented various innovative programs, including: Student Portfolio One Student Three Medals, Campus Talk, Coaching Students Preparation to College (Study Campus), Info Task Force and Race Registration, and Workshop Student Talent Interest. These programs are designed to not only focus on academic development but also provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, talents, and career potential. The success of these programs can be seen from the high percentage of graduates who continue to college (97%) and the rest who directly enter the workforce. Going forward, the study recommends that Senior High School principals develop programs to guide and direct students as they prepare for their careers following graduation.
