International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance, v24 n1 p173-200 2024
This study investigates the effects of a career-related practical skill-based training intervention on job search intention via vocational identity statuses (viz. exploration, commitment, and reconsideration), job search self-efficacy behavior (JSSE-B), and career-related practical skills possessed among university students. The participants (N = 79) were electrical/electronic technology education students in Nigeria. Results showed that the intervention influenced the students' vocational identity statuses, JSSE-B, career-related practical skills, and job search intention. Contrary to our expectation, vocational identity statuses and JSSE-B failed as theorized mediators in our model; while career-related practical skills possessed is upheld as a mediator in the model.
