Abstract
Career adaptability is an individual’s readiness which develops over time from the age of children, adolescents, to adults and functions to overcome predictable tasks and participate directly in the work environment and roles. Low adaptability of careers can cause individuals to have difficulty in preparing for their future careers. This study aimed to determine whether career decision self-efficacy (CDSE) group counseling effectively improves students’ career adaptability. It was an experimental study that used a randomized pretest-posttest control group design by selecting 18 of 360 students as the subjects of this study and dividing them into 2 groups, namely experimental and control groups. In analyzing the data, this study used Mixed MANOVA. Findings confirmed that career decision self-efficacy group counseling was effective in improving students’ career adaptability (F (1.16) = 1401.74, p < 0.01. This effectiveness could also be seen in the effect of time (F (2,32) = 462.18, p < 0.01), and the effect of the interaction between time and group (F (2,32) = 443.38, p < 0.01). Finally, the current study confirms that to improve students’ career adaptability, counselors or guidance and counseling teachers can apply CDSE to group counseling services.

SD = 1.36) experienced a significant increase in words, there was an improvement in student’s post-test (M = 87.22, SD = 2.22), and follow-up career adaptability that occurred in each phase (M = 88.89, SD = 1.83)
Summary
The development of today’s individual's career is considered significant because an individual can meet the needs of his life and display his talents and interests through a career. One's career can be developed through education as long as all stages of life development (including adolescence) are achieved (Husna et al, 2018) This is confirmed by Ramadani (2020) that the future orientation of young people relates to the developmental tasks they will face in adolescence and early adulthood, such as education, employment, and marriage. Adolescents who generally sit in high school are still confused about the future of their careers. This is assured by Santrock (Santrock, 2011) who states that many adolescents do not know what career information to look for, and how to find it. Adolescents will not be confused in facing the world of careers if they want to choose and develop according to the desire of their career that is included in the concept of career adaptability
