Abstract
This study explored the relationship between psychological hardiness and career adaptability of students at Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Colleges. Participants were a convenience sample of 198 college students, predominantly single (96.0%), female (57.6%), black African students (92.9%), aged 21 years and younger (93.9%). They completed a Personal Views Survey (PVS III-R) and the Career Adapt-Abilities Inventory (CAAI). Stepwise regression analysis indicated gender and the hardiness attributes (commitment, control, and challenge) to predict career adaptability. Student development services should seek to leverage college students’ psychological hardiness for career development counselling.
