Abstract

Abstrak: Latar belakang kegiatan ini berangkat dari tingginya kebingungan siswa dalam memilih jurusan, dipengaruhi keterbatasan informasi mengenai minat, bakat, dan prospek masa depan. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan membantu siswa SMA menemukan passion dan menentukan jurusan kuliah yang sesuai sekaligus meningkatkan soft skill (refleksi diri, pengambilan keputusan, dan perencanaan karier) serta hard skill (pemahaman program studi, prospek karier, dan kebutuhan kompetensi dunia kerja) melalui edukasi terstruktur berbasis psikologi, eksplorasi karier, dan pengembangan diri. Kegiatan ini dilakukan dalam bentuk webinar nasional “Unlock Your Future” yang menghadirkan empat narasumber dari bidang psikologi, pendidikan, praktisi industri, dan akademisi. Sebanyak 89 peserta mengikuti kegiatan serta menjalani pre-test dan post-test yang masing-masing terdiri dari 8 soal untuk menilai peningkatan pemahaman peserta. Hasil post-test menunjukkan peningkatan rata-rata 42% dalam pemahaman peserta terkait penemuan passion, pemilihan jurusan, dan konsep ikigai. Evaluasi kepuasan menunjukkan bahwa 92% peserta merasa kegiatan ini membantu mereka mengenali potensi diri. Dengan demikian, webinar ini berkontribusi dalam meningkatkan literasi karier siswa SMA melalui pendekatan psikologis, praktis, dan inspiratif.

Abstract: The background of this activity stems from the high level of confusion among students in choosing their university majors, which is influenced by limited information regarding their interests, talents, and future career prospects. This community service activity aims to help high school students discover their passion and determine suitable university majors while simultaneously improving soft skills (self-reflection, decision-making, and career planning) and hard skills (understanding of study programs, career prospects, and workforce competency requirements) through structured education based on psychology, career exploration, and self-development. This activity was conducted in the form of a national webinar titled “Unlock Your Future,” featuring four speakers from psychology, education, industry practice, and academia. A total of 89 participants attended the activity and completed pre-tests and post-tests, each consisting of 8 questions, to assess the improvement in participants’ understanding. The post-test results showed an average improvement of 42% in participants’ understanding of passion discovery, major selection, and the concept of ikigai. Satisfaction evaluation indicated that 92% of participants felt that the activity helped them better recognize their potential. Therefore, this webinar contributes to improving high school students’ career literacy through psychological, practical, and inspirational approaches.
