Limited research exists on how students make meaning of their experience in high school career and technical student organizations (CTSOs) specifically related to self-efficacy sources of influence. The purpose of this qualitative interpretive inquiry was to uncover perceptions of 25 Iowa Business Professionals of America alumni. These alumni would have a) graduated in 2018 or 2019, b) attended the two Iowa BPA conferences during both their junior and senior year, and c) attended BPA national conferences for both their junior and senior years. Perceptions were explored through the theoretical lens of self-efficacy and fine-tuned through the conceptual lens of the four sources of influence of self-efficacy-mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion, and physiological responses. The research findings revealed several key themes: confidence and accomplishment, career and college preparedness, meaningful relationships, and emotional maturity. Overall, BPA emerges as a transformative platform that equips individuals with confidence, skills, and clarity about their career trajectories, emphasizing the importance of inclusive environments and diverse experiences within the organization. However, this study found students who were not afforded leadership opportunities, such as the leadership conference or local officer teams, may have gained more from their experience had they been able to participate. Additionally, the study acknowledged the limitations of focusing solely on one student organization and recommended broader research on the long-term impact of CTSOs across different demographics and career paths. Moving forward, more research could be conducted on the effects of external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic on student engagement and involvement in these organizations. Quantitative studies measuring career self-efficacy and other relevant factors across various CTSOs could provide valuable insights into the overall effectiveness and influence of these programs on students' professional growth and success.
