Abstract - This research aims to analyze the relationships between career calling, adaptability, and awareness of STARA technology to provide insights into career development during this critical transition phase. The methodology employed in this research is quantitative, with data collected through online questionnaire surveys. The data was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and Smart PLS software. The participants are students in Jakarta, with 413 respondents completing the survey. The findings indicate that both career exploration and self-efficacy have a positive influence on career adaptability. Furthermore, career exploration and self-efficacy significantly and positively affect career calling, while career calling positively affects career adaptability. The results also indicate that STARA Awareness reduces the influence of career calling on career adaptability, although the findings remain significant. The mediating variable demonstrates a positive and significant effect on the relationship between career exploration, self-efficacy, and career adaptability. The novelty of this research is that it examines career calling in school children, which is still rarely studied compared to employees, to help students recognize their potential and interests early on. For future research, it is recommended to investigate variables within a broader scope at the national and international levels.
