Abstract

Preparation for an adult career plays a significant role in the future of adolescents, especially those with visual impairment. Despite their limitations, they must prepare for their future career. Immaturity in their career planning may manifest as dropping out from college or graduating from college to work in an unrelated field. Therefore, career preparation training is essential for this adolescent population. To meet these challenges for 20 visually impaired students, a 2-day training program was conducted in affiliation with the Yayasan Mitra Netra Foundation and Persatuan Tunanetra Indonesia in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. This training used several materials to focus on key topics: self-concept, development of intra-, and interpersonal skills, college life, and current development of work. This training also presented a conceptual understanding of success, career preparation, and future goal setting. The program also sought to enhance their knowledge to be more rational in choosing their future career, whether an educational, or entrepreneurial path, based on their interests and skills. Based on a comparison of pretest and posttest scores, results showed a significant increase in their knowledge about career and intra-interpersonal skills; therefore, the purpose of this training was well achieved. This intervention can be applied by another organization with the concern to help visually impaired students undertake career preparation.
