level was low (1.5%), moderate (37.1%) and high (61.4%). One-way ANOVA analysis shows that there are no significant
differences between science and technology, health and medical science, and social science [F (2.1388) = 2.81, p >
.05]. While t-test found that there are no significant differences between gender [t = -1.539, p > .05]. This study implies
that first-degree students that have low and moderate level career readiness needs appropriate intervention. Implication
of this study to develop career profiling and build a career intervention programs based on needs of the students. Also
