Key Points

The study aims to explore the meaning of work experiences for early-year humanities and social science undergraduates through narrative inquiry.
Targeted three participants involved in an internship program over two summers, from 2024 to 2025.
Conducted participant observation and 3-4 in-depth interviews per participant from September 2024 to September 2025.
Employed Clandinin and Connelly's narrative inquiry framework to analyze participants' life trajectories.
Narratives reveal that 'learning experience', 'self-efficacy', 'outcome expectations', 'interest', and 'career goals' are interlinked over time.
Participants transformed small accomplishments during internships into significant learning experiences connecting academic knowledge to job roles.
Increased self-efficacy led to more realistic expectations about job performance and heightened interest in public sector careers.

Narrative inquiry explores work experiences in public enterprises among undergraduates, highlighting implications for career development.
