Abstract :Career choice is an important teenager need in the stages of career development, which requires professional intervention from adults. Adolescents who are able to choose careers appropriately based on values, interests, intelligence, and personality qualities as their strengths, in the future have a chance of success in achieving and developing a career field in society. This study aims to formulate a conceptual framework as the basis for efforts to develop a local culture-based career counseling model as an alternative solution to helping adolescents who experience obstacles in career choice–through career counseling services that are professionally managed by guidance and counseling teachers/counselors in schools. Several aspects related to this development effort were studied descriptively, which included factors of low career maturity, the need for adolescents in career choice, local culture-based career counseling models, the relationship between career maturity, career planning with local culture-based career counseling, preliminary studies that have done by the author, and conclusions.
