AISSOC Student Activity Program on the career aspirations of Bachelor of Science in

Accounting Information Systems (BSAIS) students atLaguna University. The research aimed to

determine how AISSOC activities—seminars, workshops, leadership training, team-building

activities, and pre-employment orientations—contribute to students’ skills development, career

awareness, networking opportunities, career exploration, and job readiness.

A descriptive-correlational research design was used, involving 172 randomly selected

students. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using weighted

mean and Spearman’s rho correlation. Results showed that the AISSOC Student Activity Program

had a very high overall influence on students’ career aspirations (overall mean = 3.31, SD = 0.70).

Seminars exhibited the highest influence (mean = 3.46), followed by team building, workshops, and

pre-employment orientations, all rated very highly influential. Leadership training, while slightly

lower (mean = 3.19), still showed a high level of influence. The program also demonstrated a very

high overall impact across developmental areas (overall mean = 3.28, SD = 0.70), with career

opportunities awareness receiving the highest rating (mean = 3.38), followed by career exploration

and skills development. Correlation analysis revealed strong and statistically significant relationships

between the influence of AISSOC activities and their impact on career aspirations, with Spearman’s

rho values ranging from 0.603 to 0.804 (p = 0.000). The strongest relationship was found between

pre-employment orientation and networking opportunities (ρ = 0.804), indicating that professional

preparation activities enhance students’ connections and workplace readiness.

The study concludes that the AISSOC Student Activity Program effectively supports

students’ professional growth and career direction. It is recommended that Laguna University

institutionalize the program as a formal Career Development and Engagement Initiative. Future

researchers are encouraged to examine the career paths of BSAIS graduates to determine the

professional directions they pursue.
