Abstract

Analysis of 200 psychology students showed a careers course significantly enhanced career-related self-efficacy across three domains: career planning clarity (d = 0.77), knowledge resource awareness (d = 1.16), and career outlook (d = 1.14). Effects were especially pronounced for graduate school-bound students.
