From the perspective of enhancing career education, in order to increase the educational effectiveness of internships for second-grade technical Upper Secondary School students, the contents of the “Internship Impressions” and “Career Passports” and “Student Self-Evaluations” were examined using text mining analysis and analysis of variance, dividing the students into high and low performing groups based on the results of the end-of-first-semester regular exams for a total of 15 credits of general subjects and 14 credits of specialized subjects for each department. We considered perspectives for future improvements and identified the following three points. ⑴Analysis of the “Internship Impressions” showed that the top performers reflected on their work by focusing on the qualities and abilities required to carry out the work, as well as facts such as the content of the work. ⑵ Analysis of the “Career Passport” showed that the top performers wrote many entries related to their career planning abilities through their internships. (3) Analysis of students' self-evaluations suggest that students believed that participating in the internship activities improved their abilities related to the UDGs (17 goals for a better life set by U Technical Upper Secondary School as school goals, the qualities and abilities that U Technical Upper Secondary School focuses on and aims to develop with the aim of discovering and resolving personal challenges). In order to enrich career education, it was also inferred that it is important for students to reflect on their internship with a focus on “self-understanding and self-management skills” and “career planning skills”.
