摘要：Career development is widely discussed in Malaysia. Although there are some issues of constraint or limitation of careers faced by children in shelter homes due to academic and personal background factors, the process of career maturity can be enhanced with a variety of learning mediums. Therefore, this study is aimed to identify the level of career maturity in adolescent female at a shelter home in Malaysia. This study is a quantitative study involving 70 adolescent female in a children's shelter homes in Malaysia. Career Maturity Inventory (CMI) was used which included the domain of attitude and the domain of competency with a reliability value of alpha 0.700. The data was analysed using descriptive analysis of percentage, frequency and mean to answer the research questions. The results show that the mean value obtained for the career maturity level for the overall, for the attitude domain and for the competencies domain is at high level but approaching low level. As a result, children in shelter homes are still in need of counseling programmes related to career counseling in order to support the career maturity particularly on attitude domain, among adolescents in shelter homes.
