Abstract Preparation for a career is an essential form of responsibility during adolescence.
The initial step that individuals can take for future career preparation is to carefully plan alternative career paths that align with their expected goals.
This research is a survey study aimed at analyzing three aspects of career planning using percentage methods, so that counselors can identify which career aspects require more emphasis in providing guidance and counseling services.
The study subjects consisted of 135 students in classes X-A to X-D at a Madrasah Aliyah in Madura.
The results of this study showed that the aspect of self-knowledge obtained a percentage of 71.
30%, which is considered sufficient, the aspect of attitude obtained a rate of 78.
95%, which is regarded as good, and the element of skills obtained a rate of 69.
72%, which is considered sufficient.
This research can provide a reference for school counselors to offer guidance and counseling services with various methods, especially skills, which were the lowest among the three career planning aspects.

Introduction Individual career choices are not only related to job choices.
they will impact a healthier and more productive work environment, both directly and indirectly, which in turn will positively impact the social order.
1 Careers can no longer be narrowly defined simply as work activities, but rather reflect a long-term process in which individuals work towards goals aligned with their interests and talents.
2 Adolescence, especially during secondary education, is crucial in determining career direction.
During this period, an individual's readiness to plan for the future has long-term consequences for life success and potential realization.
3 However, reality shows that many students still plan their careers without adequately considering their potential and skills.
4 This indicates a gap between career development needs and students' readiness to deal with them.
In the early stages, individuals should be able to design future careers by carefully compiling alternative career choices tailored to their long-term goals.
In line with Adiputra's research findings,5 good career decision-making begins with self-awareness and a deep understanding of personal tendencies.
Nurhikmah & Fitria Individuals suggest that, as much as they are directed to identify their interests early on, they will be better prepared to make strategic decisions to achieve their career goals.
6 Furthermore, career planning activities can be found in various aspects of student life, such as attending training tailored to their interests, career counseling, and digging up information about the world of work.

Profile of Career Planning Ability of Madrasah Aliyah Students in Pesantren Environment clear life goals, encouragement to think ahead, and strong aspirations.
8 In this context.
Nove divides career planning into three main aspects: .
self-awareness, which includes awareness of personal potential and goals.
attitudes, which refer to development expectations and pursuits.
skills, which are the ability to identify and categorize suitable jobs.
Career planning among adolescents often experiences internal and external barriers.
The characteristics of adolescents who are searching for themselves require professional support, especially from counselors, to broaden their horizons regarding careers aligned with their interests.
10 Although career guidance services are available in schools, their effectiveness is not optimal.
Sa'idah emphasizes the importance of adaptive and responsive career guidance services.
11 However, interviews with counselors at Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic High Schoo.
in Madurese boarding schools revealed that many grade 12 students do not comprehensively understand career planning.
The diversity of students' backgrounds also challenges counselors in providing guidance materials that all students can equally access.
Therefore, mapping the three dimensions of career planning is essential to understanding the weaknesses that must be addressed in implementing guidance and counseling services.
Various studies have examined career planning from multiple approaches.
Maharani emphasizes the importance of career contributions to forming a positive social environment, but has not discussed operational strategies for strengthening adolescents' 12 Fitriani highlights the need for career orientation based on interests and talents, but does not explain the role of education.
Naufal Rifqi Firdaus explains the importance of adolescent responsibility in career design, but has not elaborated on the forms of Rima Irmayanti and Ikip Siliwangi.

Ristian highlights the problem of a lack of consideration of self-potential in career decision making, but has not offered a solution based on guidance services.
14 Masfiah said that career guidance aims to help students get to know the world of work and make choices, but has not examined the depth of specific aspects such as knowledge, attitudes, and skills.
15 In general, previous studies tend to be conceptual or descriptive and have not offered a proportional map of career planning aspects that can be used as the basis for more targeted counseling policy making.
This study offers a quantitative descriptive approach that specifically examines the percentage of three key aspects of career planning-self-knowledge, attitudes, and skills in the context of Aliya students in Madrasah.
This approach allows for a more objective analysis and identification of dominant aspects that require further intervention.
contrast to previous general or narrative studies, this study provides empirical data that can form the basis for developing more personalized, contextualized, and needs-based career guidance strategies.
The main objective of this study is to analyze the proportion of the three aspects of students' career planning to identify the areas that need the most attention in implementing career counseling services.
The findings will help counselors develop more effective and adaptive counseling programs tailored to students' backgrounds and needs.
Furthermore, this study provides theoretical insights to create a needs-based career counseling model and practical contributions for schools and educational institutions in creating transformative and inclusive counseling services.
Method This type of research is a survey.
the survey method was chosen to describe the three aspects of student career planning.
The procedure carried out in this study is divided into three procedures, the first stage is to distribute instruments related to student career planning consisting of three aspects namely knowledge, attitudes, and skills using google form, the second stage collects the results of instruments that have been given to students.

Profile of Career Planning Ability of Madrasah Aliyah Students in Pesantren Environment can help students realize that with the potential that students currently have, they can find decent work.
The results of Suryahadikusumah's research,21 Found that using RIASEC / realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprise, and conventional typologies provides good benefits for providing information to individuals regarding career alternatives that will be designed and help understand their suitability for the work environment.
In addition, group guidance methods can also be used in assisting students to plan their careers, which is supported by research from22 This says that applying group guidance methods with the Snakes and Ladders game media can improve the career planning of high school students.
It cannot be denied that using auxiliary media in guidance and counseling services can add to the message the counselor wants to convey when providing services.
Results of Analysis of Attitude Aspects The second aspect, attitude, in one of the Madrasah Aliyah in Madura, gets a percentage of 78.
95%, which is classified as good.
The attitude aspect in career planning is the real hope and encouragement to behave better in education and work.
24 The counselor explained that students at one of the Madrasah Aliyah in the Madura Pesantren environment had a good attitude toward education.
This is supported by the curriculum at Madrasah Aliyah, which prioritizes religious culture.
The results of research from Richayatul Husna,25 It states that through a religious culture in Madrasah Aliyah, students will form a character that is polite, humble, honest, optimistic, and has a high sense of Doddy Hendro Wibowo et al.

The program that the counselor provides in attitude is to use the group discussion method, both with classical and group guidance services.
This is in line with the results of research from Nove.
26 This states that there is a significant difference in attitude between before and after attending group guidance services with group discussion Modeling techniques in group guidance can also be used to support students' career planning attitudes.
The results showed that the modeling technique provided good service results and helped students plan their future careers.
However, achieving a good attitude is not necessarily thoroughly impactful if it is not accompanied by adequate self-knowledge and skills.
Is this positive attitude rooted in religious values alone, or has it been internalized as a rational drive to design a career? It is worth considering whether the attitude is passive-resignative or active-reflective.
This is important because a good attitude without substantial self-knowledge risks producing a tendency to 'submit to fate' rather than proactively planning for the future.
Group discussion and modeling techniques are proven to improve attitudes, but how practical are they in driving cognitive .

The skill aspect in career planning is the individual's ability to classify jobs in the 28 The skill aspect gets the second-lowest percentage score from the career planning aspect.
One of the influencing factors is environmental factors that will shape the point of view of a job, and how the surrounding environment views individual careers will significantly affect student career planning.

The expository technique or lecture method can indeed reach some of the counselees.
Still, the flow of communication formed by the counselor is more in one direction.
if done repeatedly, it will impact student activity, which will be uninteresting.
When implementing group guidance, various guidance and counseling methods can be applied to support career skills, including the mind mapping technique.

In addition, counselors can help students train their self-efficacy.
The results of research from Rois Nafi'ul Umam support this.
32 This states that when students have a good level of self-efficacy, they will influence their career planning skills and become less worried about their future career plans.
Services in guidance and counseling have a variety of methods that can be used to improve student career planning.
Classical guidance services and group guidance services have been proven to enhance students' career planning.
