Pearson's correlation coefficients and regression analysis, using SPSS 24.0 version program. Ther were statistically significant positive correlations among experience in career counselling with family, relationship with parents, self-efficacy and career maturity. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the experience in career counselling with family, relationship with parents and self-efficacy explained an 76.8% of career maturity. We should include parents in their education so that parents can provide counseling and support in their children's career exploration and decisions so that they can enhance their own self-efficiency. It is necessary to develop a program that will directly improve students' self-efficiency in the career path, considering that it can improve their confidence and ultimately affect their career maturity.
