The abilities and beliefs of students in determining a suitable career within the field of employment are essential factors that should be prioritized. In this context, career self-efficacy and career adapt-ability play a crucial role in aiding students to recognize their potential and comprehend their effectiveness in steering themselves towards career alignment. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between career self efficacy and career adapt-ability among students of the National Youth Higher Skills Institute in Sepang as well as to identify the level of career self efficacy among these students. The study was conducted using the Career Decision Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSE SF) and the Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS), through an online medium using Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analyses to address the research questions. The findings of the study reveal a significant correlation between student’s career self-efficacy and career adapt-ability. Moreover, the level of career self-efficacy among the students was found to be notably high.
