Abstract

Career exploration affects job preparedness, employability and career adaptability, moderated by perceived teacher support. This study was focused on career exploration among engineering students from the University of Surabaya in the 2021/2022 academic year. Quantitative research methods were employed, with questionnaires for data collection. There were 258 respondents to the questionnaires. SmartPLS version 3.3 was used to examine the research data utilising PLS-SEM analysis. According to this study, career exploration improves employability, flexibility and job preparedness. The better students’ career exploration, the higher their employability skills, career adaptability and work readiness. Further, employability skills and career adaptability can mediate the effect of career exploration on work readiness, increasing students’ job readiness in the future. Also, perceived teacher support strengthens the influence of career exploration, employability skills and career adaptability on work readiness. © 2023 WIETE
