Career orientation and “future readiness” of young people
The study identifies the needs of parents with regard to the career orientation of their children. Their main concern is apparently how to find out about their children’s interests and strengths. In addition, the study makes clear that while many sources of information on career orientation are used, some are not considered helpful, and it identifies sources that parents do trust. The research also shows which future competencies parents feel young people need and to what extent their children have them, and whether they can help them acquire these competencies. Finally, recommendations for action are presented based on the study findings.
