There are consistently vacancies in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce, and these vacancies are worsened by leaks in postsecondary STEM pipelines. Implementing STEM career planning courses is one intervention by universities to improve the academic and career outcomes of students in STEM. This study (N = 286) analyzed longitudinal data in a STEM career planning course. We examined how a STEM career planning course influenced engineering students’ career-related self-efficacy and evaluated the impact of perceived stress and career counseling. Results indicated that the STEM career planning course had a positive influence on students’ career search efficacy. Increases in perceived stress had a negative influence on students’ career search efficacy, whereas positive ratings of career counseling had a positive influence on students’ career search efficacy. Implications for counseling and research are discussed.

工科学生求职效率的纵向模型

科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 劳动力中一直存在空缺，而这些空缺因中学后 STEM 管道的泄漏而恶化。实施 STEM 职业规划课程是大学为提高 STEM 学生的学业和职业成果而采取的一项干预措施。本研究（N= 286) 分析了 STEM 职业规划课程中的纵向数据。我们研究了 STEM 职业规划课程如何影响工程专业学生的职业相关自我效能感，并评估感知压力和职业咨询的影响。结果表明，STEM职业规划课程对学生的求职效率有积极影响。感知压力的增加对学生的求职效率有负面影响，而职业咨询的积极评价对学生的求职效率有积极的影响。讨论了对咨询和研究的影响。
