<![CDATA[This study examined whether career guidance services contribute to improving career planning among tenth-grade students enrolled in the Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV) program at SMK Islam Bustanul Ulum. A quantitative pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest framework was employed. Ten students identified as having relatively limited career planning abilities were selected as participants through purposive sampling. Data were obtained using a 29-item Likert-scale questionnaire designed to assess students’ career planning competencies. The collected data were processed through descriptive statistical analysis, normality testing, and a paired-samples t-test using SPSS version 25. The findings indicated a notable improvement in students’ career planning scores, with the mean score increasing from 66.5 before the intervention to 87.8 after the intervention. Statistical testing revealed a significance value of 0.003 (p < 0.05), confirming that the intervention produced a significant positive effect. The results suggest that career guidance services enhanced students’ awareness of their strengths and abilities, broadened their understanding of educational and occupational opportunities, and assisted them in setting achievable career goals while preparing more systematic plans for their future careers.]]>
