Journal of Career and Technical Education, v35 n1 p36-54 2020
This study investigated whether postsecondary automotive technology students' interests were congruent with their chosen career pathways. One hundred eighty-six students from three institutions completed Holland's Self-Directed Search assessment. Realistic was the predominant Holland code followed by Enterprising for the participants within this study. A majority of participants had a medium level of congruence between their interests and career choices as measured by the C-index. The findings may be useful for educators, counselors, and career development professionals interested in diversifying instruction and professional development strategies to promote future career success.
