In this study, we developed a career exploration art program using ZEPETO, and verified its effectiveness through pre- and post-questionnaire tests and post-interview analysis. The art program was conducted over seven sessions targeting four students from middle school. The criteria for analysis were career identity and career maturity, and the results were as follows: first, the program was effective in improving the career identity and career maturity of the learner. Notably, within the sub-factors of career identity, significant changes were found in independence, self-existence, and goal orientation. Similarly, among the sub-factors, significant changes were found in planning, information search, and rational decision-making. Second, as a result of interview analysis, the visualization of realistic and specific job space through ZEPETO provided students a high level of satisfaction and was an educational catalyst that stimulated their careers and dreams. This had a positive effect on the career identity and career maturity of students owing to the raised interest in careers or specifying career goals.
