The problem to be addressed in this quantitative study was the education system's failure to produce individuals with the necessary skills to fulfill high-wage, high-demand technical positions in the market. The study examined whether career counseling self-efficacy levels varied across different experiences, such as educational background, years working as a community college advisor, years working as a teacher, recent training in career counseling, and perceived knowledge of career and technical education. More specifically, the study examined the self-efficacy of career counselors in providing career counseling in 10 Alabama community colleges. The self-efficacy levels of these career counselors were then evaluated in relation to the independent variables of years of school counseling experience, years of previous teaching experience, recent training in career counseling, and perceived knowledge of career and technical education. Additionally, the study looked at whether the levels of self-efficacy to provide career counseling to community college students differed by the counselors' educational backgrounds in technical programs or academics. The current study found a significant relationship between career and technical education perceived self-efficacy and the counselors' self-efficacy levels in career counseling, but no relationship was found between years of counseling or teaching experience and the levels of self-efficacy to provide career counseling. However, recent career counseling training was found to have a significant relationship with the counselors' self-efficacy in career counseling. Additionally, advisors' educational background did not significantly influence their self-efficacy levels in providing career counseling. These findings can serve as recommendations to school administrators for areas to provide professional development, as well as characteristics to consider when posting for career counseling positions.
