Abstract ABSTRACT
This study investigates the relationship between Career Guidance Advocacy and career readiness among Grade 12 students at Tulunan National High School. It aimed to determine whether participation in advocacy programs contributes to students’ preparedness for future careers. The study employed a descriptive-correlational design with 50 respondents from different strands: STEM, ABM, HUMSS, and TVL. The school implemented several advocacy activities such as a Career Guidance Program, invited professional speakers from DOLE and TESDA, classroom video showings about career paths, and a Senior High School Summit featuring a mock interview. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using weighted mean and Pearson correlation. Findings revealed that career guidance advocacy was highly implemented and career readiness among students was at a high level. Results further showed a significant positive relationship between career guidance advocacy and career readiness. The study concludes that organized advocacy activities play a vital role in improving students’ confidence, decision-making, and preparedness for future career choices.
