This study examined career adaptability of gifted students within the Career Construction Theory. Using phenomenological qualitative research design, the study was conducted with 15 10th grade students (54% male) attended an Art and Science Centre, which is an after school program for gifted students, from a rural area of Turkey. The Career Construction Interview was used to collect data. The content analysis was employed by using MAXQDA 18 with a predetermined code list based on the relevant literature, retaining four dimensions of career adaptability: concern, control, curiosity, and confidence. The results indicated that curiosity dimension of career adaptability was frequently observed, yet confidence was seen to be lacking. Self-exploration, Investigative Attitude, and Taking Responsibility were prominent subthemes. On the other hand, the analysis did not produce richer content on career adaptability with gifted students. The results implied the need for practices to advocate social justice for rural gifted students to provide more environmental opportunities and role models to them.
