Abstract: Guidance is a dynamic process that takes place throughout our lives based on various interactions with the environment. Academic and professional guidance is the most important step in a young person’s life, enabling them to make decisions about education, training, employment, and helping them to develop a career. This stage presents a problem for many high school and university students who feel disoriented in front of the plethora of courses offered. In this context, several researchers have conducted a series of studies to explain the important axes that influence this guidance process. In this work, we will present an overview of the subject of our exploratory research, “the academic orientation of Moroccan students”. Then we will see the methodology that follows in order to perform a qualitative analysis of interviews using the NVIVO software. Later, we will prove that creating a good orientation will contribute in one way or another to better employability. Then, based on the theory of planned behavior, we will propose a theoretical model of the factors explaining the students’ orientation.
