Descriptive-correlational study was utilized for the study. Total enumeration was employed in the research study. A total of 54 ABM students were included in the study, Findings revealed that student respondents perceived their intrinsic and extrinsic motives for higher education to be very important. Student-respondents perceived themselves to be very well prepared for higher education. Student respondents perceived that all their expected outcomes for higher education will be attained very well. There is a positive correlation among student-respondents’ motives, preparedness, and expected outcomes for higher education. A Senior High School Career Guidance Program for ABM students was developed and proposed to fortify students’ motivation, preparedness, and expected outcomes for Higher Education.
