The Career Decision‐Making Course was designed to help students develop the decisional attitudes and competencies that increase readiness to deal with career‐choice tasks and facilitate behavioral responses that meet these tasks. The course addresses career‐choice process and content by using the teach‐the‐test method with Career Maturity Inventory materials. After describing the course, the current article reports the results for a field test of the course. The results indicated that, compared to a control group, 10th‐grade students who participated in the course improved their foresight and reduced their decisional difficulties.
