Introducing the Coarsened Exact Matching(CEM), this study evaluates the effect of career experiential learning on career maturity and academic achievement among Korean adolescents. To guarantee the randomness between the students who has had career experiential learning and the others who has not, we process the raw data through the CEM before the regression analysis. According to the result, the efficacy of the career experiential learning on students' career maturity and their academic achievement still remains statistically significant even after the CEM. This positive significance of career experiential learning is consistent for both high school students and middle school students. Furthermore, direct experiential learning is more efficient than indirect experiential learning to improve career maturity of the students. These results implied that academic ability, as well as, career maturity could be developed by career experiential learning. While emphasizing the importance of career experiential learning for Korean adolescent, we also discuss the social implications of this study to encourage career education and its limitations.

This study aims to examine the cases of overseas experience programs centered around middle school students in South Korea and to derive implications for future overseas experience programs. To achieve this, data were systematically collected through search engines based on keywords, followed by comparative analysis. Frequency analysis, independent sample t-tests, and cross-analysis were conducted using SPSS 23. The research findings are as follows: First, the programs are operated nationwide, with a focus on smaller schools in various regions, and are particularly active in the Jeolla provinces. Diverse public funding, such as from the board of education and local governments, has been invested, categorizing operational costs into full financial coverage among others. The programs primarily took place in Southeast Asian countries close to South Korea. Second, the purposes of these middle school overseas experience programs largely encompass career exploration, cultural experiences, tourism, and sister school visits. We hope that school-based overseas career exploration programs are actively operated to provide opportunities for enhancing global competence and global citizenship, as well as exploring career paths.
