Abstract: This research aims to empirically test the influence of social support and employability skills on career adaptability in final year students at AKI University. The sample criteria used are level VIII students who are currently taking final assignment (thesis) courses. The total is 102 people. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The measurement of the career adaptability variable uses the Likert scale Career Adapt-Abilities Scale (CAAS) which is based on Savickas' theory of career adaptability dimensions, namely Concern, Control, Curiosity and Confidence. This social support variable is measured using the MSPSS (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) scale from Zimet, et.al, namely families, friends and significant others.
The employability skill variable is measured based on the Pool & Sewel theory, namely Career Development Learning, Experience, Degree subject knowledge, skill and understanding, Generic skill, Emotional Intelligence. Cronbach's Alpha reliability value on the CAAS scale = 0.904. The MSPSS scale has a value of α = 0.903, while the employability skills scale has a value of α = 0.865. The results of this research also show that the R value = 0.969; R2 = 0.939; F = 762.850 (p < 1%) which means that there is a significant influence between social support and employability skills on career adaptability in final year students. The variable that makes the biggest contribution to career adaptability in final year students is the social support variable, namely 87.33 %,. This shows that the contribution of social support, especially family, really determines a student's career adaptability.
