—— This study has demonstrated the importance of role models, comprehensive career information, and career interests and choices, in the development of career of grade 12 students of Sirawan National High School, Toril, Davao City. It can thus be concluded that events which are directed at high school learners will be beneficial to them. Critically, career talks, career advising, and career counseling are more effective when conducted with professionals in the field sharing their journeys, since that encourages learners to select and pursue similar career paths. The findings in this study also point to the need for teachers of careers advising to ensure enough time are included in the career advising so learners do not suffer from mental fatigue and confusion as well as gathering input from learners on the careers they would like to learn about. However, when colleting input from learners, teachers must also include lesser-known careers in their schedules to broaden learners’ information and knowledge on these careers. This study’s findings can be beneficial to the students because it indicates the importance of stakeholder relationships in enhancing career-related learning and development. Additionally, the education department and especially the provincial school would benefit from creating relationships with local and national businesses and organizations for the purpose of providing career talks to learners.
