Abstract

Through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis, this study investigates the evolution of career resilience research in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) from 1969 to 2024. Using data from 1019 articles retrieved from Scopus, the study examines publication trends, influential authors, prominent journals, co-authorship networks, and keyword co-occurrence patterns. Key themes identified include career adaptability, psychological factors such as self-esteem and life satisfaction, workplace dynamics like job satisfaction and engagement, and the pivotal role of education in promoting resilience. The analysis highlights a significant increase in research output during global disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, underscoring the growing relevance of career resilience in addressing contemporary challenges. By leveraging tools like biblioMagika® and VOSviewer, this study provides critical insights into the interplay between career resilience and vocational education, offering actionable recommendations for integrating resilience-focused strategies into TVET curricula. These findings aim to support educators, policymakers, and researchers in enhancing graduate employability and adaptability in dynamic labor markets.
