Main Ideas & Lessons

  • Career exploration is important for students, but it’s normal for them not to have answers or clear future plans yet.
  • The purpose of asking about careers is not to force students to decide early, but to inspire them to think about what options they might explore.
  • Educators should provide space for students to discover and try out fields that match their interests, talents, and skills.
  • A practical approach for SD to SMP (elementary to junior high) is through interest/career service activities that involve parents.
  • Career Day is highlighted as effective because it makes learning more contextual and relevant—students learn about real professions close to their everyday world.
  • Using parents as resource persons helps students understand:
    • what a profession is,
    • what daily tasks look like, and
    • examples of work—making the introduction easier to understand and more engaging.

Method / Activity Structure (SD–SMP Context)

Career Day / Interest Service with Parents

  1. Step 1: Spark discussion

    • Ask students what they want to do when they grow up.
    • Clarify that students don’t need “mature plans” yet—the questions are meant to encourage reflection.

  2. Step 2: Create space for exploration

    • Provide opportunities for students to explore possible interests and fields.
    • Expect that some students may not yet know what choices exist.

  3. Step 3: Involve parents as resource persons

    • Invite parents whose jobs align with various fields (e.g., digital marketing).
    • Position parents as speakers who can share real experiences.

  4. Step 4: Prepare student learning around the profession

    • Ask the parent/resource person to explain:
      • what the profession is (e.g., “digital marketing specialist”)
      • what daily activities/tasks look like
    • Ask the parent to bring real examples of work (e.g., digital marketing outputs).

  5. Step 5: Use visual/media examples

    • Provide examples using visual media so students can see and understand more easily.

  6. Step 6: Share feedback after the event

    • Gather responses from:
      • parents,
      • teachers, and
      • students.
    • Emphasize positive outcomes such as:
      • increased enthusiasm,
      • broader exploration of professions,
      • better understanding of daily work across fields, and
      • support for self-development aligned with students’ interests and skills.

  7. Step 7: Adapt for elementary school (SD)

    • The approach can be used in SD as well, but delivery should be adjusted to students’ developmental stage.
