Abstract
This study evaluates a group-based career psychology intervention delivered face-to-face and online to enhance employability resources among unemployed individuals. Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory, the intervention focused on fostering self-awareness, exploration, and goal setting. Qualitative and quantitative analyses showed positive reactions, increased engagement, and alignment with the intervention's objectives. However, challenges such as emotional resistance and technical issues with the online format were identified. Based on these findings, recommendations include flexible scheduling, adjustments to activity sequencing, and addressing technical difficulties. Overall, the study highlights the importance of supportive environments for career development and the need for tailored interventions. Future research should refine intervention designs and explore both efficacy and process through further studies.
