Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of career development needs of Moroccan university students. It argues that in a saturated and continuously changing labor market, be it private or public, Moroccan University graduates need to be informed and prepared for the newly required labor exigencies. To account for this situation, this study utilizes (SCCT) as a theoretical framework. It also deploys a quantitative approach. The findings of this study have it that Moroccan universities should grant more importance to career development in their syllabi. Therefore, the study recommends that Moroccan universities should allocate more resources towards career development.
