About the Journal

ORBIT: Journal of University Student and Career Development is a scholarly journal published by the Career Development Center of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The journal serves as an academic platform for the development of ideas, research, and best practices in student career guidance, employability development, work readiness, and the transition of university graduates into the world of work and industry.

The term ORBIT represents the dynamic, directed, and continuous trajectory of students’ career development, beginning from their academic journey in higher education and extending toward their integration into the professional world. From this perspective, ORBIT views career not merely as an end result, but as an ongoing developmental process shaped by competence, experience, readiness, and personal growth.

ORBIT was established in response to the growing gap between higher education and the demands of the labour market, both at national and global levels. The journal encourages the integration of theoretical studies, empirical research, and career guidance practices that are relevant to the needs of university students and graduates.

In addition, ORBIT provides space for survey-based research and empirical analysis involving UIN students, particularly in relation to career planning, work readiness, internship experience, academic and non-academic competencies, and students’ perceptions of the world of work and industry.
