career awareness among secondary school students in Bauchi metropolis. Career
Awareness Rating Scale (CARS), was administered to two hundred and fifty (250)
students sampled from the entire senior secondary school students (SSS II) of both

into groups (Experimental and control groups), after they had responded to the
instrument developed to obtain their pretest scores, therefore, 125 students were in
the experimental group while 125 were in the control group. The subjects in the
experimental group were exposed to handouts as bibliotherapeutic technique, while,

analysis and the result showed that handouts as bibliotherapeutic technique can
enhance secondary school students’ career awareness. It further revealed that gender
