Skills of vocational high school graduation on building construction program competence of stone and concrete construction technique which is required for construction industry AIP Conference Proceedings 1778, 030033 (2016) Abstract. The aims of this research were to study: 1) correlation between creative thinking skill with vocational maturity; 2) correlation between competency achievement with vocational maturity; and 3) correlation between creative thinking skill and competency achievement with vocational maturity simultaneously. In this research, creative thinking skill (X1) and competency achievement (X2) were independent variables and dependent variable was vocational maturity (Y). The population of this research was entire of vocational high school students grade XI Computer and Network Engineering. The total number of population was 337 students. The sampling technique used was proportional random sampling, so the total number of sample was 182 students. This research used quantitative approach and the kind of research was descriptive correlational. The analysis data used descriptive analysis, classic assumption test, and hypothesis test were consist of correlation product moment and multiple regression. Correlation product moment was used to determine relationship between dependent variable with each independent variable partially, whereas multiple regression was used to determine correlation between independent variables with dependent variables simultaneously. The results showed that there was a positive and significant correlation between creative thinking skill with vocational maturity. It was observed from the magnitude of Coefficient Correlation (R) = 0.606. And then, there was a positive and significant correlation between competency achievement with vocational maturity. It was observed from the magnitude of Coefficient Correlation (R) = 0.733. There was positive and significant correlation simultaneously between creative thinking skill and competency achievement with vocational maturity. It was observed from the magnitude of R = 0.769 and R square = 0.591. Based on the result of this research could be concluded that ha (hypothesis alternative) was accepted and ho (hypothesis 0) was rejected.

Career maturity is individual ability to carry out career developmental tasks according to career developmental stages, in which adolescents should be able to make plans and perform career decision-making. The problems that arise, adolescents are challenged to carry out career-decision making. The aim of the study was to assess career maturity model in adolescents which is observed from autonomy, attachment, parental social support, and self-efficacy in career decision-making. This was a quantitative study involving 262 adolescents (49.4% girls and 51.7% boys; 44.9% were 16 years old, 34.1% 15 years old, 13.1% 17 years old, and 7.9% were 14 and 18 years old) studying in high schools who were selected using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was conducted by using Career Maturity Scale, Autonomy Scale, Attachment Scale, Parental Social Support Scale and Self-efficacy Scale. Data were analysed using SEM (Structural Equation Modelling). The result of the study shows that career maturity model in adolescents conforming both concept and theory. Autonomy, attachment and parental social support are significantly related to self-efficacy in career decision-making. Likewise, selfefficacy is significantly related to career maturity in adolescents. Autonomy, attachment, and parental social support are not directly related to career maturity in adolescents, which means that career maturity in adolescents requires more than autonomy, attachment, and parental social support. Maturity is established when those factors are mediated by self-efficacy in career decision-making.
