摘要

This study investigated the effectiveness of a series of small-group student-staff engagement lunches (known as ‘Supper Club’) in fostering undergraduate and postgraduate participants’ career awareness and readiness (i.e., self-efficacy, career intention and motivation, and sense of belonging). A mixed-method semi-structured interview study was conducted to uncover reasons behind participants’ career readiness and awareness pre- and post-Supper Club participation. 67 undergraduate and postgraduate students (M = 21.58, SD = 2.69 years, Female = 88.1%) from a London Psychology department participated in Supper Club to discuss career journeys. Participants completed pre- and post-questionnaires, followed by a focus group interview on changes to career awareness and readiness and the impact of participation. Responses were transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. Thematic analysis identified five themes on the impact of Supper Club participation: 1) Career Realisations, 2) Translating Insight into Career Action, 3) Knowledge around career journeys, and 4) Affective and Relational Responses, with a cross-cutting theme of Career Self-Efficacy.
