A discrepancy between individual values and social support received influences a low degree of career adaptability. This research 122 post-internship students enrolled at the State Islamic Religious College in Sumatra, Indonesia. Work Values Inventory, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) were employed as the research instruments using a quantitative design, and multiple regression analysis was adopted to analyse the data. The results showed a significant positive relationship between work values, social support, and career adaptability. Furthermore, the regression model predicted 64.1% of career adaptability, highlighting the synergistic effect of the variables. The results underscored the potential of career counselling interventions in empowering post-internship students by providing essential skills and knowledge for successful career navigation. Implications for career counselling were also discussed, and future analysis was suggested. © Universiti Putra Malaysia Press.
