Abstract: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and career counseling in reducing job choice helplessness among students. The statistical population of this research included all students studying at the Bandar Anzali branch of Azad University during the 2023-2024 academic year. The sample consisted of 45 students who were purposefully selected from volunteers willing to participate in the study. The participants were then randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental groups (entrepreneurship education and career counseling) and one control group. The instrument used in this research was the Job Choice Insolvencies Questionnaire. After conducting a pre-test, experimental interventions, and a post-test, the data were analyzed using covariance analysis and the Bonferroni post hoc test. The results of the covariance analysis indicated that both entrepreneurship education and career counseling are effective in reducing job choice helplessness among students. Additionally, there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education and career counseling in reducing job choice helplessness; both methods were equally impactful. Therefore, both entrepreneurship education and career counseling can be utilized to reduce job choice helplessness among university students.
