Abstract
This study examined the relationship between career guidance counseling and the track selection of Senior High School students at World Citi Colleges–Guimba Campus. Specifically, it determined students’ level of awareness of Senior High School tracks, their confidence after attending career guidance counseling, and the relationship between counseling and track selection. A quantitative research design was employed. Data were collected from 46 Grade 11 and Grade 12 students who had participated in career guidance counseling using a validated survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. Results showed that students demonstrated a high level of awareness of Senior High School tracks (overall mean = 3.995) and a high level of confidence in track selection after counseling (mean = 4.17). The chi-square results indicated a statistically significant relationship (p < 0.05) between career guidance counseling and students’ chosen tracks. The findings suggest that career guidance counseling contributes to increased awareness, confidence, and informed decision-making in track selection. The study concludes that career guidance counseling plays a significant role in helping students make appropriate track choices aligned with their interests and abilities.
