Abstract Career goal formation during secondary school years plays a crucial role in shaping students’ academic motivation, decision-making, and future employability. However, a significant proportion of secondary school students lack clear career goals, leading to confusion, low academic engagement, and poor career preparedness. The present study aims to examine the factors influencing the absence of career goals among secondary school students in NTR District. Using a normative survey method, data were collected from a sample of 300 secondary school students drawn from government and private schools. A Career Goal Awareness Questionnaire developed by the investigator was used for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques such as Mean, Standard Deviation, Percentage Analysis, and t-test were employed for analysis. The findings revealed that lack of career guidance, parental awareness, socio-economic background, and academic self-concept significantly contribute to the absence of career goals among students. Significant differences were observed with respect to gender and type of school, while locality did not show significant influence. The study highlights the urgent need for systematic career guidance interventions at the secondary school level.
Keywords Career Goals, Career Awareness, Career Guidance, Educational Factors.
