College students on probation are generally considered at-risk for dropping out, as indicated by a wide range of literature. This article focuses on an action research study that explored the impact of a career workshop series on freshman students in a probation course at a medium-sized university located in the southeastern United States. The study examined whether the workshops enhance these students' motivation to remain in school, as well as their career decision-making abilities and level of career knowledge--two factors that combined are referred to as career focus in this discussion. Results indicated the workshops were effective in increasing the students' career decision-making abilities, career knowledge, and determination to be in school, but didn't impact their desire to perform well as a student.
