Walmsley, Andreas, Karen Cripps, and Catherine Hine. "Generation Z and hospitality careers." Hospitality & Society 10, no. 2 (June 1, 2020): 173–95. http://dx.doi.org/10.1386/hosp_00019_1.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article explores youth career decision-making at a time of ongoing concerns surrounding the supply of labour to the hospitality industry. This article is unique in its combination of attitudes of Generation Z with a pre-university-aged sample combined with employer views. A survey of 245 youth provided insights into work values and attitudes towards hospitality careers, which was complemented by interviews with nine hospitality employers. Findings indicate only a small percentage of youth consider hospitality employment an attractive option. However, this insight must be tempered by an acknowledgement of participants' early, exploratory phase of career development, by the fact that other occupations were equally not regarded in particularly high esteem, and the important role capability considerations played in assessing career options. Beyond a focus on personal development, there was little indication of homogeneity regarding work values. Employer interviews supported the notion of an 'ignorance barrier' in relation to youth seeking hospitality employment. The UK hospitality sector is increasingly concerned with addressing the 'image' of the industry as an attractive career choice, and this research underlines the importance of industry working together with education partners to promote the opportunities and address negative perceptions.

With youth unemployment rising and government cuts across the country impacting on support services for young people, the Youth Employability Service in Brighton and Hove has adopted a broad approach to engagement, offering services to young people in both an online and offline context. This article uses the Youth Employability Service as a case study, demonstrating the success that integrating face-to-face work with online engagement opportunities has had on the service, and arguing that a blended approach to delivering services for young people is vital for the future of careers work.

Full textAbstract:
Combining work while attending college is a common strategy for youth with limited financial means to pursue postsecondary education. However, we know relatively little about the socioeconomic contexts behind the different work and school decisions and whether the meaning of each work and school experience vary by different socioeconomic backgrounds. Following a national sample of young adults, this study explored how personal financial responsibilities and parental social support are associated with employment or enrollment in college and youths’ perceived relevance of them for their prospective careers. Youths’ personal financial responsibilities were associated with higher odds of working only and combining school and work, compared to attending college only. Youths’ personal financial responsibilities were positively linked to the career relevance of their work and school experiences, but only when they were experiencing low parental social support.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to explore how creative competencies acquired through involvement in music and style-based youth cultures are being converted by young people into DIY (do-it-yourself) careers. This term, as applied here, covers a range of alternative and do-it-yourself modes of work and employment not governed by the acquisition of formal qualifications and training, but, rather, grounded in knowledge and practical know-how acquired through participation in music and style-based youth cultures and associated consumption, leisure and lifestyle practices. The article examines how the emergence of the DIY career can be placed in the context of the collapse of the youth labour market and the increasingly precarious position in which young people find themselves. It also argues that, given the increasing emphasis among youth (and indeed post-youth individuals) placed on the significance of music as a source of DIY career-making, some redefinition of the term DIY music-making and the sphere of DIY creative practice is necessary, particularly in respect of its relationship to more mainstream cultural industries and the related concept of the ‘creative city’.

The purpose of our paper is to derive the priority of the support policy for youth NEET. To this end, the youth NEET policy was summarized through the analysis of overseas youth NEET support policies and youth knit support policies of the domestic central and local governments, and based on this, the priority policy for youth NEET was sought through expert Delphi survey. As a result of the study, the most important prerequisite in the direction of youth NEET policy is the training program (Skills Link, Career Focus, Summer Work Experience, etc.) that has been operated with the aim of finding and maintaining jobs by helping young people accumulate skills and careers. Second, peer-to-peer support policies are necessary for the resolution of youth NEETs. Through this study, it is of practical significance in that it sought a direction to effectively realize the policy by seeking support policies necessary for youth NEET and clarifying the priorities of necessary policies.

Full textAbstract:
Since the beginning of modern labor markets, formal and informal activities have coexisted alongside each other. However, most of the traditional approaches to informality are not fully able to explain the multiple forms by which this phenomenon manifests itself today in certain contexts. Informality in Latin American societies, particularly in Argentina, is heuristically revelatory for illustrating the need for a more complex definition and less rigid theoretical classifications. The main purpose of this article is to contribute to an empirical analysis about informality by addressing two points. First, the article provides a better understanding of the heterogeneous nature of informality—“involuntary” or “voluntary” informal work, “half-formal/half-informal” work—in the field of youth employment. Second, in connection with debates about the sources of informality, the article explores the hypothesis of the existence of state-created informality. The article illustrates these points at different levels: youth careers, employers’ recruitment strategies, and states policies. This perspective seems useful for identifying the actors involved, acknowledging the blurry boundaries between diverse informal situations, and understanding actors’ uses of them. The points are illustrated by evidence from a qualitative and longitudinal study on youth employment careers in Argentina. The article concludes with a discussion about some key issues of informality, such as legality, regulation and agency.

Full textAbstract:
Only recently have researchers begun thoroughly examining the role of youth music cultures and subcultures in participants’ ‘adult’ lives, suggesting that participation does not end with an abrupt transition to adulthood. Significantly, how subcultural experience translates into work skills and job opportunities needs further investigation. Based upon interviews and participant observation with older straight edgers – clean-living punks associated with the hardcore music scene – over the course of five years, this article examines subcultural entrepreneurs, in particular straight edgers, who have used DIY experiences to start businesses or advance careers. I first examine how involvement in DIY scenes can influence choice of career; many participants chose work reflective of their DIY values and/or created their own career. Next, I discuss how participants’ DIY dispositions influence their work, including tolerance for risk, confidence, self-reliance, and adaptability. I then demonstrate how participants translate scene experience into useful and marketable skills, including management, organization, marketing, and job-specific proficiencies.

Full textAbstract:
Although children born with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV) are now living into adulthood, little is known about their transition into the workforce and the ways they develop career aspirations. In this phenomenological study, 35 youth with PHIV (mean age 20.7) completed semistructured interviews regarding their career aspirations which were transcribed and coded for emergent themes using grounded theory. Approximately half of the participants were employed at the time of the interview. Sixteen participants aspired to work in helping professions. Others sought employment in the arts or business sector. Participants indicated that parents/guardians and medical providers were generally supportive of their career interests. Providers and social workers often helped them find jobs and construct resumes. Thirteen participants indicated that their HIV status had little impact on their career aspirations. Others believed HIV-related challenges related to transmission, physical difficulties, and emotional turmoil limited their ability to pursue certain careers. Several felt inspired to fight against HIV-related stigma/discrimination. It is important to encourage youth with PHIV to prepare for their future by routinely holding conversations regarding their career goals.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide an evaluation of traineeships as an active labour policy for young people in Italy. The role of traineeships as a formative experience for improving youth employment is stated by law and the specific evaluation of the regional Quality Traineeships Programme allowed for a more in-depth analysis of the role quality criteria plays in traineeship implementation.Design/methodology/approachSuch evaluation relies on administrative data, while a counterfactual approach was used to compare trainees to unemployed young people registered with Public Employment Services. The impact of traineeships on youth careers was measured in terms of employment probability, but innovatively, the actual placement was measured in terms of both hiring and along a “quality” metric with respect to entry in the labour market. It is reasonable to assume that young people are interested in traineeships as an investment towards a more satisfying career (not just as a gateway to recruitment). At last, the authors introduce a persistency analysis of the effects on youth employment rates.FindingsThe results show that traineeships hinder rapid transition to work, but they are effective stepping-stones for young people seeking a quality career. A benefit of 7 percentage points was estimated on the probability of finding a quality job after completing the traineeship and a long-lasting effect on trainees’ employment rate is demonstrated by the persistency analysis. These benefits are strengthened for participants in the Quality Traineeships Programme, confirming the relevance of desirable learning and contractual conditions in supporting the effectiveness of internships in Italy.Originality/valueAs far as the authors know, this paper is the first study that specifically refers to traineeships as an active policy in Italy and the questions resulting from the research suggest new trends in the debate over the role of policies for supporting youth employment. The administrative archives used in the analysis and the persistence effects on youth employment rates are further innovations to the empirical literature on the effectiveness of Italy’s training programmes.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the paradigm of ageing regarding older professional dancers who prolong their careers, challenging the normative standards set down in western dance culture. With interest gaining momentum in introducing dance to an ever-increasing ageing population, it seems ironic that the older professional dancer continues to be undervalued or often invisible. The established aesthetics that persist within classical ballet, but less so within contemporary dance, supports the rejection of the bodies of these disenfranchised dancers, who embody a palimpsest of lived danced experience. It is undoubtedly an example of corporeal politics, the lack of exposure of seeing older dancers performing, a loss of identity tempered with the dilemma of the acceptance of youth and intolerance of decline. The aim is to acknowledge through film documentation and interviews the artistry these older dancers embody and to commend the positives surrounding ageing.

Full textAbstract:
Hispanic youth are entering the U.S. labor market in increasing numbers. Their experiences and outcomes can teach us about the degree to which Hispanic migrants and their children are successfully integrating into U.S. society. While we know about the disadvantages Hispanic immigrant youth face in securing professional careers, less is known about the strategies they use to navigate their labor market options in response to these obstacles and as a way to express their agency. Using data collected from interviews, questionnaires, mental maps, and journals with Hispanic immigrant youth, this article demonstrates the social and spatial strategies Hispanic immigrant youth employ to access work. Such strategies include leveraging institutional and familial connections, advertising their bilingualism, working close to home, and navigating stereotypes. Insight into these strategies can help educators, policy makers, and immigrant families determine how best to support Hispanic immigrant youth as they transition from school to work.

Full textAbstract:
The Borderlands Earth Care Youth (BECY) Institute is an example of hands-on environmental education where high school students engage with restoration. BECY inspires and trains the next generation of land stewards by hiring borderland youth to restore their home watersheds. The 12-person youth crews, currently located in two rural communities just north of the U.S./Mexico border, are paid to implement hands-on restoration, utilizing science-based techniques, to return biodiversity to the landscape and urban binational communities. During its 8-year program, BECY interns have been hired to refill plummeting groundwater tables, stabilize dwindling native pollinator populations, revegetate barren landscapes, arrest erosion, link fragmented wildlife corridors, and support sustainable food systems. Each BECY crew is led by two young adults, ages 21 to 26, who are graduates of the program. Restoration projects are completed in collaboration with local conservation professionals working in careers accessible to local youth. Along with tiered near-peer mentorship, BECY crews develop leadership and team-building skills while learning critical concepts in watershed, ecosystem, and food system restoration. Youth interns graduate from the BECY crew by completing independent restoration projects and presenting a report of their project at a community graduation ceremony. Through prolonged contact with restoration professionals across the Sky Island Restoration Collaborative, BECY has bridged a gap in establishing viable restoration-based economies in multiple underserved rural border communities, with the goal of catalyzing an ethic of cross-border land stewardship for generations into the future.

Full textAbstract:
Working is one of the hopes as well as an achievement for the transitional period of youth. The social, cultural, and economic contexts that are developing rapidly due to globalization and advances in science and technology have made the sphere of work also change. As a result, the outsourcing work system has become the right choice for young people to develop their careers. Using qualitative research methods with a biographical model, several young informants were selected to tell narratives related to their dynamic careers in several industries with an outsourcing system. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations on the activities carried out by these young workers—besides, some secondary data related to the world of work as the primary data support. From the results obtained, youth who work in the industrial sector with an outsourcing mechanism have quite a risk of being vulnerable in the future even though the transition period they are experiencing looks relatively smooth (after taking education directly to work). Their joy in their daily lives as young people seems to be able to encourage them to keep their enthusiasm for work even though the risks that exist in the future are uncertain and winding.

Full textAbstract:
Background Despite decades of calls for increased diversity in the health research workforce, disparities exist for many populations, including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color individuals, those from low-income families, and first-generation college students. To increase representation of historically marginalized populations, there is a critical need to develop programs that strengthen their path toward health research careers. High school is a critically important time to catalyze interest and rebuild engagement among youth who may have previously felt excluded from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and health research careers. Methods The overall objective of the MYHealth program is to engage high school students in a community-based participatory research program focused on adolescent health. Investigators will work alongside community partners to recruit 9th through 12th graders who self-identify as a member of a group underrepresented in STEM or health research careers (e.g., based on race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, first generation college student, disability, etc.). MYHealth students are trained to be co-researchers who work alongside academic researchers, which will help them to envision themselves as scientists capable of positively impacting their communities through research. Implemented in three phases, the MYHealth program aims to foster a continuing interest in health research careers by developing: 1) researcher identities, 2) scientific literacy, 3) scientific self-efficacy, and 4) teamwork and leadership self-efficacy. In each phase, students will build knowledge and skills in research, ethics, data collection, data analysis, and dissemination. Students will directly collaborate with and be mentored by a team that includes investigators, community advisors, scientific advisors, and youth peers. Discussion Each year, a new cohort of up to 70 high school students will be enrolled in MYHealth. We anticipate the MYHealth program will increase interest and persistence in STEM and health research among groups that have been historically excluded in health research careers.

An increase in the number of demands for lamb meat every year represents livestock business opportunity while the supply from smallholder farmers continues to decline, causing prices to rise yearly. Sustainability is important in the sheep farming business, which older farmer dominated. The objective of this research was to assess the inclination of the younger population towards pursuing careers as sheep farmers after participating at the Pusat Pelatihan Pertanian Pedesaan Swadaya (P4S) of Lembaga Kajian dan Pengembangan Potensi Umat (LKP2U) program in the Madiun Regency. Novelty of the research is the presentation of the latest information on youth interest in working as a farmer. Data collection was carried out in December 2022 using non-probability sampling. The data in this study were analyzed using a Likert scale to measure entrepreneurial interest and demographic factors. Furthermore, a binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between the predictor and response variables. Youth interest after participating in the training program chooses an interest in working as a sheep farmer at 70%. Factors that influence youth interest after attending the training program towards employment as a sheep farmer are demographic factors namely age, marital status, duration of education, parents occupation, parents income, family members, and entrepreneurial factors (e.g personal, environmental, and social).

The article examines the problem concerning the effectiveness of managers of general education organizations. There is no universal methodology for the assessment of effectiveness of activity of managers of general education organizations and no determined factors affecting any effectiveness indicator. The aim of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of managers of a general education organization at different stages of their careers. The main methods of this research are the system analysis, the questionnaire survey and the factor analysis. The author analyses the dependence of the effectiveness indicators of managers of general education organizations on the career stages. The effectiveness evaluation was carried out according to the author's methodology and was based on the data of general education organizations in the Smolensk region.Managers of general education organizations at the establishment stage of a career haven't sufficiently formed public relations and developed educational activities. Managers at the advancement stage do not pay enough attention to building the career of employees of the educational organization. Transfer of experience to youth, their adaptation in the team, support in research work, assistance in building a career are not sufficiently typical for school managers at the maintenance stage of careers. Managers at the withdrawal stage of a career have a low level of information culture, lack motivation to use new technologies and progressive ideas.

The current agricultural development projection requires active participation from the younger generation. However, the declining interest of youth in the agricultural sector poses a challenge to sustainable agricultural development. This research examines communication patterns among high school students with parents, teachers, and peers regarding agricultural work values and interest in the sector. The study analyzed seven variables: individual characteristics (X1), interpersonal communication with parents (X2), teachers (X3), and peers (X4), family characteristics (X5), agricultural work values (Y1), and interest in the sector (Y2). Results show positive relationships between communication with parents, teachers, peers, and agricultural work values. Students perceive agriculture as promising but not fully aligned with their preferences. Teacher communication significantly influences work values and interest more than parents and peers. Effective teacher-student communication is vital in shaping agricultural work values and interest. Bridging perception gaps can boost youth interest in agricultural studies and careers, fostering a skilled and committed future generation for Indonesia's agricultural development

In recent years there has been an increased emphasis on recruiting and retaining STEM students in order for the United States to retain its position as a leader in STEM fields (President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, (2012), Report to the president, engage to excel: Producing one million additional college graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics; Chen, X.

Psychol., 15(1), 83–98), it is important that we understand what students know about careers available in the field of chemistry as well as what they know about what those careers are like. In this study, qualitative methodology was utilized using narrative inquiry and case study analysis methods in order to capture the lived experiences of six senior-status chemistry and biochemistry majors at a mid-sized, Midwestern university. Participants were interviewed, narratives were constructed from their interview transcripts, and the narratives were used as case studies that were compared to one another. It was found that students are not fully aware of the careers available to them with a degree in chemistry or biochemistry or what the career options they did identify were like on a day-to-day basis. It was also noted that resources are not distributed evenly to all students and that there were resources that were missing that students would have liked to have access to. Suggestions for improvement in chemistry career education are discussed along with limitations of the study and ideas for future work.

Recently, consensus among researchers and professionals has emerged about factors that contribute to postschool success of youth with disabilities. Prominent among these factors are targeted academic preparation, family involvement, youth empowerment, and service collaboration and linkages. Work experience and paid employment have been identified as being highly associated with positive postschool employment outcomes. These components are reflected in the Guideposts for Success, produced by the National Collaborative on Workforce and Disability/Youth (NCWD/Y), which represents professional consensus and extant research about what constitutes optimal transition service. The authors present a descriptive report on the implementation of a model for systematically delivering seamless transition services based on components of the NCWD/Y Guideposts. They report on how this model has been applied in 11 of the 24 county-wide school districts in Maryland for diverse special education populations, and provide preliminary data on its early impact on the students’ transition to careers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve a greater understanding of the transitions young adults experience into and out of the labour market and the influence that gender and married/cohabiting status have on employment careers. Design/methodology/approach The paper focuses on young adults (25-34 years old) in four European countries – Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and Norway – that are representative of different youth transition regimes. Using longitudinal data from EU-SILC survey (for the years 2006-2012) and event history analysis, the authors investigate the effect of the particular set of institutional features of each country, the effect of the cohort of entry and the effect of gender differences in determining transitions across labour market status. Findings Findings show that the filter exercised by the national institutions has a selective impact on the careers of young adults, with some institutional contexts more protective than others. In this respect, the condition of inactivity emerges as an interesting finding: on one side, it mainly involves women in a partnership, on the other side it is more common in protective youth regimes, suggesting that it may be a chosen rather than suffered condition. Originality/value The paper contributes to existing literature by: focusing on a specific category, young adults from 25 to 34 years old, which is increasingly recognised as a critical stage in the life course though it receives less attention than its younger counterpart (15-24); integrating the importance of family dynamics on work careers by analysing the different effects played by married/cohabiting status for men and women.

Full textAbstract:
Students seek unique experiences to obtain and enhance professional development skills and to prepare for future careers. Through the Let’s Talk Science Partnership Program (LTSPP), a voluntary science outreach program at University of Toronto Scarborough, students are given the opportunity to continually improve on skills which include: the “3 Cs” (creativity, communication, cooperation), and leadership and organization skills through hands-on activities in classrooms and community centres across the city and in isolated rural communities. Volunteers serve as mentors, and frequently transfer knowledge related to their research and coursework to youth. Here, we present results from surveys on current and past volunteers (2004-2010). Volunteers were asked to evaluate the value of the skills they obtained through science outreach, and the relevance of those skills to obtaining current work and achieving long-term career goals. Respondents commented on the effectiveness of the skills they obtained and ranked the transferable skills. We show that volunteer work through LTSPP largely improves their communication and confidence skills. As well, students identified clear links between science outreach and professional goals, and highly recommended LTSPP to others.

Full textAbstract:
The work is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of youth perception of the repressive policy of the Soviet regime. On the basis of the studied archival documents and periodicals materials of the Tambov Region, the main ways of adaptation of youth to the toughened system of political control are shown. We reveal the main motives for which young men and women took part in making denunciations. It is concluded that the majority of youth sincerely believed the statements of propaganda structures about the existence of countless “enemies of the people” and the need to expose them. However, there were those for whom terror became an opportunity to advance their careers or to satisfy their thirst for revenge. It is proved that in the youth environment a submissive type of political culture was developed, and deindividualization of consciousness was carried out. Fear for one’s own life spawned doublethink among the majority of those who disagreed with the party line. Nevertheless, the presence of critical and protest sentiments testifies to the existence of a personal perception of the phenomena of Soviet reality by young people, which significantly differed from official assessments.

Full textAbstract:
Transit housing for young people who have just started work is a housing concept that provides temporary accommodation and support services to individuals in the early stages of their careers. In Malaysia, the priority of housing for the youth is an important issue because the price of housing units nowadays burdens young people who have just started working to get an affordable house or room according to their ability. They face current challenges, including moving away from their hometown to get work and looking for new job opportunities in big cities like Kuala Lumpur. The youth is a valuable asset to the economic growth of the country. Therefore, it is very important that a transit house can be developed before they can buy a new house. Data was collected from a questionnaire survey answered by 100 local university graduates and young people who have just started working around Selangor and Kuala Lumpur. The results of the study on the needs and requirements of transit housing space can provide an important contribution to the development of transit housing in Malaysia. This research can identify the wants and needs of the transit house chosen by the youth which involves the required spaces, types of rooms, and types of programs in transit housing in Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyses how career orientations can help rural high school learners to become more self-directed and flexible in developing their careers in today's dynamic world of work. Career counsellors are needed in schools to guide the way learners subjectively make sense of their self-perceived talents and abilities. The study used a qualitative approach to obtain information about how career orientation can change the lives of rural high school learners. The purposive sampling technique was used to choose rich information from rural high school learners and teachers, councillors, and the surrounding employers/educational institutions in Waterberg District. Data analysis was done through inductive thematic data analysis where themes and categories emanated. The outcome of the study considered the fundamental aspects to develop career paths, career orientation programs, changing the mind set and the impact of career orientation in rural high schools. The product of the study will be shared with all four schools, nearby employers, and the Department of Education, Waterberg District in Limpopo province. The outcomes of the study might help in dealing with persistent educational obstacles like broader educational equity and public funding for developmental career orientation programs that face many youth and adults in rural communities. It is recommended that policy developers establish career orientation models that would benefit the livelihood of rural high schools.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores the connection between young people’s focus on professional and family values and their subjective sense of happiness and success. This subject is pertinent in today’s world, where an increasing number of youths prioritize material accomplishments and careers, often neglecting their personal lives and relationships. The empirical findings are derived from the authors’ sociological study involving young participants (aged 14–35) and utilizing a questionnaire as the research method. The findings indicate that young individuals who exhibit strong career orientations are less happy, while those with predominant family values experience greater success and report higher levels of subjective happiness. However, examining the respondents’ family and professional values reveals a complex and multifaceted distribution among “happy”/“unhappy” and “successful”/“unsuccessful” categories, preventing a clear-cut and polarized classification of these groups. Investigating young people’s focus on professional and family values helps us comprehend their influence on happiness, success, and self-realization. The importance of maintaining a balance between work and personal life is emphasized, as seen through the lens of self-perceived happiness and success, ultimately contributing to more comprehensive individual self-realization and improved life satisfaction. This knowledge can assist educational institutions, youth policy implementation divisions, and education departments in devising effective strategies to support young people’s life choices and growth, as well as in establishing conditions that promote more complete self-realization. Examining young people’s orientation towards professional and family values can enable society to better understand and address the changing value orientations of young individuals and implement appropriate measures to support their needs and interests.

Full textAbstract:
The factors that promote successful professional socialization have become a primary focus of study through the expansion of higher education. The structural changes in the labor market of post-socialist countries such as Hungary over the last three decades have presented a challenge to the training areas of social and educational professions. In Hungary, these professions are not very attractive, the degrees have a low profitability, and the working people already face great challenges when looking for a job. Our research question is whether the traditionally theoretical character of higher education is able to keep up with the dynamic changes in the reality of the labor market. By interviewing 20 professionals about their professional experience and career plans, we tried to answer the questions about the low attractiveness and low retention rate of these professions. We compared the careers of bachelor’s graduates with degrees in social work, youth work, and education. The qualitative analysis showed that professionals whose training included more field exercises and supervision were more successful. They had increased their professional and social capital, and these helped them to integrate into the labor market.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives This study aims to identify work adjustment among early-career MZ generation college graduates, explore latent classes with distinct work adjustment changes, verify influencing factors, and examine tenure and stress differences based on these classes.
Methods For this purpose, 9th to 14th wave of the Korea Employment Information Service’s Youth Panel 2007 were utilized to conduct analyses on the latent growth model and growth mixture model of work adjustment for early-career college graduates.
Results Firstly, when examining the averages of work adjustment of early-career college graduates at three time points, the level of work adjustment followed a linear latent growth model. There were individual differences at the initial stage, confirming the presence of heterogeneity within the change trajectory. Secondly, work adjustment was classified into three latent classes: the “Low-Increasing” group (2.5%), the “High-Decreasing” group (12.7%), and the “Mid-Level Sustaining” group (84.8%). Thirdly, factors predicting the latent classes included congruence between job details and skill level, participation in vocational education programs, and the number of job search experiences. Lastly, there were differences in stress levels among the work adjustment groups of early-career college graduates. The “Low-Increasing” group had lower stress levels compared to the “High-Decreasing” group, and the “Mid-Level Sustaining” group exhibited lower stress levels than the “High-Decreasing” group.
Conclusions The results of this study confirmed the existence of different patterns of work adjustment changes among early-career college graduates of the MZ generation and identified implications for vocational education and organizational onboarding strategies for each group.

Full textAbstract:
This paper summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussion on the transition to adequate employment of overqualified graduates in their early career jobs. The main purpose of the research is to analyse the persistence of overqualification of early career graduates in the labour market in Côte d’Ivoire. The systematization literary sources and approaches to solving the problem using panel data and probit random effects models’ capturing unobserved individual specific effects was used as an econometric approach. The relevance of the decision of this scientific problem is that the choice of an overqualified job at the beginning of a career allows graduates to have work experience that would improve the opportunities for internal or external upward mobility in the future. Overqualification would therefore be a transitory phenomenon. Data from the survey on the sources of skills mismatch in Côte d’Ivoire were used to carry out this study. This survey covered 974 general, technical and vocational education and higher education graduates in the labour market over the period 2011-2017. The object of research is to analyse the persistence and real dependence of early career overqualification on future overqualification in the labour market in Côte d’Ivoire. The research empirically confirms and theoretically proves that overqualification persists among graduates during the first six years of their professional careers. The experience of previous overqualification and overqualification at the beginning of the period strongly explain the risk of future overqualification. The results of the research can be useful for the government to put in place or strengthen public measures to help graduates leaving the education system gain work experience and improve the quality of information on job vacancies in the labour market. Keywords: Dynamic Probit, career, underemployment, overqualification, employment, youth.

Full textAbstract:
Young people in Serbia are considered a vulnerable group in the labor market. The extended period of searching for adequate employment, as well as the harmonization of the competencies of young people with the requirements of employers present a special challenge. Young people with a university degree need less time to find a job, although unfavorable economic trends have a relatively worse effect on graduates. The aim of this paper is to determine the role of higher education in the context of employment of graduates. Based on the analysis of the content of the relevant national strategic documents related to work, employment and higher education, it was concluded that the differences between academic and vocational higher education are growing in the context of educational outcomes and expected quality standards. In this regard, academic higher education institutions need to develop additional services to help graduates of academic studies begin their careers.

Full textAbstract:
A recent but growing trend in studies of young people's lives has been to highlight that there is a ‘missing middle’ in the youth studies research agenda. It has been argued that much youth research focuses on either successful or very troubled transitions to adulthood, with the lives of those who might simply be ‘getting by’ representing an empirical absence. Building on previous work that has addressed how such a missing middle can add to our understanding of educational experience and attainment, labour market engagement and participation, and issues of identity, this paper pays attention to the housing transitions, careers and aspirations of a group of ‘ordinary’ and apparently unproblematic working class young men. Because they do not represent groups that have been of especial interest in youth studies to date, their experiences problematize the on-going utility of dominant conceptual frameworks used to explain housing transitions. In addition to their ‘lack of fit’ with ideal type typologies, the young men also reveal the shifting nature of attitudes towards communal living ‘which is traditionally associated with middle class students’ in combination with the continuing role of social resources as a determining factor in their housing transition.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study introduces six creative fashion professionals, aged 55‐74, who started their careers in the 1980s. They have managed to overcome the complex challenges of employment and remain active in the highly competitive and youth-centric fashion industry of New York City. The participants represent key occupations that drive the behind-the-scenes creative force in the industry’s supply chain. While their long careers have equipped them with expertise, multiple transferable hard and soft skills and extensive professional networks, they have become a rare age demographic in the industry. We investigate the importance of professional experience that comes with age in the current workforce by exploring the participants’ self-reflections and assessments about their careers as ageing workers. We determine how exogenous factors such as globalization, trade agreements, changes in technology, the effect of politics and recessions, global health crises and endogenous factors, such as changes in positions, additional training and work‐life balance, have influenced their careers. We highlight the benefits of intergenerational teams in which older workers are effectively able to transfer knowledge to and collaborate with younger co-workers and vice versa. Employing insights of the theory of experience, continuity theory, social exchange theory and generational theory, the study shows that intergenerational collaboration is critical to mastering creative processes in the fashion and textiles industry. Our research uncovers this demographic’s collective experience, tacit knowledge and resilience and proclaims their passion for their professions. It also illuminates the strategies the participants employed to remain professionally relevant as they adapted to the shifting landscape of the global fashion industry.

Summary This article is based on data collected from interviews conducted with past and present members of a higher education program that affords previously incarcerated individuals the chance to attend a four-year university. College participation postincarceration can help foster trajectories for crime avoidance and employment. Less specific attention has been paid to how such educational experiences might shape opportunities for released prisoners to become professional help-givers and also help themselves in the process. This exploratory study brings awareness to some potential benefits of college student inclusion in social networks particularly among individuals with felony records and ways that such support can contribute to the attainment of viable employment in the social work field. Findings This article offers valuable insight into ways in which participation in a higher education program postincarceration can provide access to individuals and group networks that operate to debunk criminal stigmas, bolster professional ex-prisoner identities, and reentry progress. Out of the 17 research participants, 13 were professional wounded healers for inmates, at-risk youth, or reentry facility residents who identified their social work as a dominant factor in their continued transitions from prison to law-abiding citizen. Application The policy implications of this article will be discussed and contribute to evidence showing that the creation and development of opportunities for ex-prisoners to attend four-year universities can help advance reentry efforts. This research explores how a group of college-educated, formerly incarcerated persons pursuing social service careers can use their experiences in higher education to progress toward that goal.

Full textAbstract:
Although there is an organized training system for coaches in the Football Association of Serbia (FAS), their careers are governed to a much greater extent by the merciless market, which forms a unique combination of the influence of the environment, age, previous competitive experience and level of success, as well as coaching experience. For the stated reason, the FAS Youth Commission, which takes care of the future of Serbian football, launched a survey on the professional profile of youth football coaches in Serbia. The analysis includes the work of 161 coaches of youth schools in the Super League, the First League and the Serbian League. Most coaches come from Western Serbia, followed by Belgrade, then Eastern Serbia, with Vojvodina at the back. The age structure of the coaches seems to meet the current needs of the Association. The coaching assotiation are also satisfying with a high percentage of licensed coaches. The coach’s previous playing experience is also satisfactory. A relatively small number of coaches have playing experience at the highest level. The question arises whether the structure of the average coaching tenure is sufficient for the results that are set as goals for the FAS? A small number of trainers worked with only one age group, while the largest number of trainers worked with 4 ages between 10 and 18 years old. Half of the coaches tried their hand at the senior competition. A seemingly simple analysis raises questions that mostly concern the unused resource for the advancement of the FAS, and which are precisely found in the strategic approach to the development of football personnel and the systematic management of the aforementioned variables, which, with the correct relationship, sequence and combination, can lead to more experienced and successful football experts in Serbia. Based on the results, FAS will launch a joint development program for youth.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research was to highlight how meritocracy can be adopted to tap youth as a resource for development in Developing countries. This meritocratic perspective is based on the premise that one's talents are primarily derived from their inherent qualities (e.g., personality and general intelligence). As a result, a meritocratic environment is described as one that recognizes an individual's abilities and provides them with the environment and, opportunities they need to excel in their endeavors. This qualitative analysis is an integrative literature review based on the desk study of secondary data. The findings show that meritocracy is achieved through, talent-based careers, educational opportunities tailored to natural aptitude, and achievement as the foundation for social reward system in the society. The practice of meritocracy may be harnessed to build up an effective work culture and promote economic growth with social development. Nevertheless, what we can conclude from this study is that non-meritocratic culture currently practiced in Developing countries, especially neopatrimonialism, is considered to play an important role in hindering youth access to opportunities. Therefore, meritocracy is a strategy that policy makers should consider adopting if they want to succeed at jumpstarting economic development based on a capitalist market model.

Full textAbstract:
Globalisation has made English a dominant language both in education and in manpower recruitment worldwide. Due to globalisation and Vision 2030 in Saudi Arabia which enhanced the involvement of Saudi youth in the work force, the study of English language, especially English for Specific Purposes (ESP), has become increasingly important in the Saudi context. Therefore, this research study aims to investigate the importance of learning ESP by highlighting students’ perceptions of the ESP courses delivered in the preparatory year in a Saudi university. To achieve this, a quantitative method was employed to collect data. The study briefly explores the impact of students’ perceptions of the subject matter on their performance. It focusses on students’ perception of the impact of learning the different components of ESP, i.e., reading, writing, listening and speaking, on their current studies and future career. A study sample of 70 participants responded to the Dundee Ready Educational Environment Measure (DREEM) questionnaire. The results revealed that the students indicated that ESP was important for, not only their current studies, but also for their future careers. Another significant outcome of the research was that the students believed that competence in ESP can help them to understand specialised textbooks.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, students are in an employment structure where they have new jobs that do not yet exist, and these social changes are causing changes in career education or career decisions worldwide. Uncertainty about the future is increasing not only in Korea but also around the world, causing rapid changes in the work world, employment environment, and job environment, and is expanding beyond personal problems of youth unemployment to social and national problems. As for the survey method, a total of 481 questionnaires surveyed through the self-written questionnaire were used for beauty majors and beauticians at four-year universities with experience in beauty academies, and Duncan test was conducted as a post-verification method. Academy selection factors according to age showed statistically significant differences in plan establishment and goal selection, and academy selection factors according to the purpose of the course showed statistically significant differences from plan establishment and goal selection factors.Academic achievement according to the purpose of the course also showed significant differences, and career decisions according to gender, marital status, major, and certificate acquisition did not show statistically significant differences. It is expected to be a stepping stone for professional beauty talent by properly setting the system for factors of selecting beauty academies and raising the right perception of career paths for consumers and beauty students preparing for their own careers through various communication such as communication, counseling, and customized learning methods. In addition, the beauty industry is also expected to have a positive impact if a systematic education program is established that can be conducted in conjunction with the field by analyzing the learning attitude and the needs of practical career decisions according to academic achievement.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Biomedical research fields are facing the challenges of demand for skilled workers as well as challenges related to diversity in that workforce. It is important that the healthcare workforce reflect the population it serves. The Exposures Internship seeks to address this by building pathways for youth to pursue careers in research and medicine. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: In 2021, the Yale Cultural Ambassadors expressed concern about the lack of free high quality, educational offerings for youth that summer. They asked YCCI to consider developing a summer program for students aged 15 and older that focused on spurring interest in careers in healthcare, medicine, and clinical and translational research. The result was a 4-week virtual learning experience for 34 interns who met daily via Zoom and participated in course work, lectures, journal clubs, group projects, and virtual lunches with internationally renowned clinical research and healthcare leaders. Sessions were designed to help interns gain knowledge of and exposure to current topics in clinical and translational science and to observe the various steps of proposing, designing, undertaking, and analyzing clinical trials. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: YCCI received over 900 inquiries from around the world with more than 200 completed applications for participation in the internship for the pilot year. Since then, YCCI leadership has worked with community partners to engage young scholars from 17 different states, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. Of those, we estimate 75% are minority, ~50% female and 20% from rural areas with limited similar opportunities. During the four weeks of the program these highly motivated students worked on projects aimed at increasing participation in pediatric research through a revised Informed consent and adolescent assent process and a youth centered awareness campaign. Interns were so inspired that they requested the program be continued beyond the initial four weeks. As such, YCCI continued to offer sessions throughout the year. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: In evaluation of the pilot program 95% of respondents strongly agreed that the program exposed them to new information about clinical and translational research. One intern shared, This program has unquestionably made me consider becoming a researcher in the future with the goal of becoming a principal investigator within my interest in medicine.

Full textAbstract:
The Mississippi State University Extension Undergraduate Apprenticeship Program was implemented in 2017 to give undergraduate juniors and seniors the opportunity to work one-on-one with an Extension mentor and explore careers in agriculture, natural resources, family and consumer sciences, community resource development, or youth development, while participating in research and outreach activities that directly benefit Extension programs and community stakeholders. The program is rooted in the principles of mentoring adult learners in an organizational context. Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model and the DEAL Model for Critical Reflection serve as the conceptual framework, whereby students engage in critical reflection to enhance their integrated research-and-outreach learning experience. An evaluation of the first two student cohorts (n=19) revealed a significant production of scholarship, an increase in discipline-specific knowledge, enhanced critical thinking and problem solving skills, a greater understanding and appreciation for Extension, and a desire to pursue related graduate studies.

Work instructions have always been necessary, but in recent times they have only gained the respect they deserve and now that they are in high demand and available worldwide, it is important to have a simple understanding of the various tasks that need to be done. Career counsellors are responsible for providing high school students with the experience and skills they need to make informed career decisions, education, and long-term goals. Music; It is a social event that unites people regardless of market, age, history, language, interests, political affiliation and income. Music and streaming apps are in demand because they are versatile and compatible with daily life, travel, sports and other activities. The rise of mobile phones and digital multimedia technology has made digital music a consumer favourite for many young people. Although career orientation has always been important, it has recently become widely recognized as a key element in today's career change research. High school students, in particular, need early and sustained exposure to many popular careers around the world. This information allows them to make decisions that patiently pursue their educational preferences. Music is a unifying force that transcends borders and barriers and plays a special role in this field. Music and streaming services are integrated into daily life, travel and entertainment, resulting in a universal love of music. The growth of mobile phones and digital technology has brought digital music even more to the forefront of youth content. However, many students do not have enough guidance to bridge the gap between their education, passions, and future career goals. This often leads to frustration and inability to take action. To meet this need, our web career counselling program, based on the ASP.NET Framework, provides students with career planning tools, skills development and opportunity guidance through a Google Dialog flow-powered counselling chatbot. By exploring music as a potential career path and leveraging its global appeal, we aim to inspire and guide students into a successful and rewarding career.

Vocational education is a large part of the high school curriculum, yet we have little understanding of what drives vocational enrollment or whether these courses help or harm early careers. To address this deficiency, we develop a framework for curriculum choice, taking into account ability and preferences for academic and vocational work. We test model predictions using detailed transcript and earnings information from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997). Our results are twofold. First, students positively sort into vocational courses, suggesting that the belief that low-ability students are funneled into vocational coursework is unlikely true. Second, we find higher earnings among students taking more upper-level vocational courses—a nearly 2 percent wage premium for each additional year, yet we find no gain from introductory vocational courses. These results suggest: (1) policies limiting students' ability to take vocational courses may not be welfare-enhancing, and (2) the benefits of vocational coursework accrue to those who focus on depth over breadth.

RESUMENLos jóvenes están viviendo en una sociedad en la que tenemos planteadas algunas incongruencias difíciles de explicar desde una perspectiva humanista aumento de las desigualdades en la época de mayor potencialidad productiva, presión hacia la homogeneización cultural en entornos claramente multiculturales, impulso de los nacionalismos paralelamente a la mundialización, etc. En este contexto, los orientadores y orientadoras han de repensar su trabajo; no obstante, las presiones económicas, sociales y familiares, les impulsan hacia planteamientos más enfocados al mercado que a la persona. En este artículo, a través del análisis de estas contradicciones y de su reflejo en la OP, se plantean una serie de principios y estrategias para diseñar y poner en práctica proyectos de educación para la carrera que ayuden al estudiantado en su incorporación al marco socioeconómico transnacional en el que le ha tocado vivir desde una concepción de ciudadanía.ABSTRACTYoung students live in a society in which we adults present a number of inconsistencies which are difficult to explain, at least from a humanistic point of view an increase in inequality at a time of higher production potential, pressure towards cultural homogenisation in clearly multicultural environments, the impulse of nationalism running parallel with globalisation, the pessimism of youth in a society full of opportunities, etc. In this context, careers advisers must try to match their work to the needs of the individual, however, economic, social and family pressures push them and direct them towards approaches which are focused on the market rather than on the person, showing that more and more career advice methods are coming onto the scene with a remarkably consumerist dimensionin their notion and in their practice. In this article, the author sets a series of principles and strategies through the analysis of these contradictions and their reflection on careers advice to design and put into practice education projects for studies which contribute to the training of students so that they can take their place, from the concept of citizenship, in the socio-economic transnational framework inwhich they have to live.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the opportunities in the labour market for young employees with intermediate-level education by studying which young employees are most likely to be retained and under what conditions managers favour retention. Design/methodology/approach Retention decisions are examined by combining a vignette experiment and a survey study. Hypothetical profiles of 252 young employees were rated on their retention desirability by 21 managers, each working in a different organisation. Information on the managers’ characteristics and their organisations were collected in a survey. Findings Managers are generally not inclined to suggest retention. Their decisions are highly dependent on their own characteristics and organisational factors, even when young employees perform well and display desirable work-related behaviour. Research limitations/implications While the small scale and explorative nature of this study limit its generalisability, this paper highlights the importance of combining information on employees, the organisation and managers; when studying (early) careers and employment decisions. Practical implications This study suggests that job retention is only in part within an individual’s control, and the future efforts to combat youth unemployment need to account for organisational and managerial characteristics. Originality/value The focus on the employer’s perspective is new to research on early careers, making it a starting point for further lines of exploration. Further, this study provides a comprehensive insight into factors that influence managers’ retention decisions by combining three sets of factors in a single research design.
