This study aimed to determine the influence of career information services using experiential learning techniques on the career planning of 11th-grade students at SMA Islam Samarinda. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The population consisted of all 81 students in grade XI, with a sample of 28 students receiving the intervention. Career information services were delivered using experiential learning techniques over five sessions. The initial condition of students' career planning was assessed through a pretest, which yielded an average score of 45.37. Following the intervention, the posttest average score increased to 75.78, indicating a mean score improvement of 30.41 points. The intervention was structured in accordance with the classical guidance format, consisting of three phases: the initial phase, the core phase (including content delivery and experiential learning activities), and the closing phase, followed by post-intervention support. The findings demonstrate a significant improvement in students' career planning capabilities, as evidenced by the increased posttest scores. These results suggest that experiential learning-based career information services are effective in enhancing students’ ability to formulate career plans based on personal considerations. The study highlights the potential of this approach to support career development among secondary school students.
