Abstract: This study explores how learning styles influence career choices among vocational students in Mongolia, focusing on heavy equipment repair students.We surveyed 158 students from four Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools, all following the Competency-Based Learning Curriculum (CBLC).Results show that 84.8% of students independently chose their profession, with 87.3% intending to work in the field after graduation.The 'Reflector' learning style was predominant (69.62%) and associated with higher academic performance.By comparing Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle with the CBLC, we identified shared elements that may shape students' learning preferences.These findings suggest that tailoring teaching methods to students' learning styles could enhance academic success and career satisfaction.
