This study aims to determine the role of Guidance and Counseling (BK) teachers in directing the interests and talents of grade 12 students at SMAIT NIBS Cilacap. Interests and talents are important potentials in students that need to be recognized and developed so that they can determine the direction of their education and career appropriately. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a data collection method through in-depth interviews with BK teachers and grade 12 students. The results of the study show that BK teachers play an active role in the assessment and guidance process, despite facing various obstacles such as lack of student openness, pressure from parents, and limited assessment tools. BK teachers strive for a personal approach, involve parents, and increase student interest exploration activities. In conclusion, the role of BK teachers is very crucial in directing students' interests and talents so that they are in line with educational and career paths that are in line with their potential.
