Issue Addressed
 Choosing a career is one of the major decisions in life that one will surely

face. This involves determining which values and points interests you the most.

During childhood, we are already surrounded by roles that gives us the vision we

want to pursue someday; and as we grow older, we begin to sort which one

certainly fits with our personality.

Yet, upon entering secondary education, some students doubt the path they

already have in mind; and at this point, low self-efficacy arises. Students begin to

question their capabilities. One then tends to neglect dreams that he is passionate

about and settles for the easy way out.

Objectives

In the issue the researchers addressed, they are aiming to achieve these

goals for the betterment of the Junior High School students:

1. To gain confidence with their skills and not be afraid of doing something

they are passionate of.

2. To be on the right track that they will be taking in Senior High School that

will give them knowledge on what awaits in their college life and how would

they overcome it.

3. To know what they will be expecting after college- the adulthood wherein

real life awaits them.

Rationale

There are a lot of students who wants to pursue a certain career yet does

not have the gut to do it since they think that they will not be able to perform the

tasks that is within that career. They believe that they are helpless and weak which

leads them to not being able to progress. A student having a low self-efficacy tends

to not continue a certain task if they are unable to remove the barriers in learning

and progressing. If that continues, they become stuck to a certain situation they

are not happy and comfortable with.

In that case, the researchers want to solve this issue in order for them to

fully prosper with the career that they want. In creating this program, the

researchers want help those students who have low self-efficacy by conducting

seminars which will guide them to pursue the career that they really want. By

addressing this issue, it will help a student eradicate their worries and assist them

in adapting to difficulties in order for them to pursue their goals. They will be able

to handle complex tasks, have confidence with their capacities, and be able to

overcome obstacles that are hindering their process of achieving their goals.
