Abstract

Career adaptability is a crucial variable in higher education. Individuals need to prepare themselves to face career transition from college to work. Shipping education is among vocational programs which employs education function and work training function. The aim of this research was to identify the grouping of shipping cadets who share similar pattern of parental support, school climate, and adversity quotient. The sample was shipping cadets (N=81). Result indicates three clusters, namely (1) the Fighter cadets (32%) are those who have high adversity quotient but perceive no parental support and negative campus climate; (2) the “Unmotivated” cadets (31%) are those with low adversity quotient who perceive no parental support and negative campus climate, and (3) the “Optimism” (37%) are cadets whose adversity quotient is high and who receive parental support and perceive positive climate. This result can be used as a reference to design interventions for cadets who encounters career adaptability issues during their study.
