job that they find enjoyable, such as hands-on work or problem-solving, and consider how their
skills and interests align with their chosen career path. During the workshop, students participated in exercises such as personality tests, skills assessments, and interest inventories. These activities helped students to identify their unique strengths and areas for improvement, as well as explore careers that align with their interests and skills
