“…While enhancing infrastructure to support the attainment of further education and job seeking for Indigenous young people has been highlighted more generally (Mission Australia 2014), several studies also identified a perceived dearth of information about university and careers within communities and schools (Cameron and Robinson 2014;Hossain et al 2008;Kippen et al 2006;Oliver et al 2013).

“…A influência da comunidade também se fez presente durante a escolha da profissão, cuja avaliação se deu em função da sua instrumentalidade, motivada pela necessidade de conexão com a cultura e história indígena e o fortalecimento de sua identidade cultural (Cheng & Jacob, 2008;Helme, 2010;Kelly, Robinson, Drysdale, Chesters, Faulkner, Ellender, & Turnbull, 2015;Kurroschi & Bergamaschi, 2013). Assim, objetivos educacionais e laborais não estão necessariamente ligados ao sucesso pessoal -conforme é concebido em contextos urbanos e industrializados -, mas a fatores relacionados ao bemestar físico, espiritual e cultural de seu grupo social (Cheng & Jacob, 2008;Kelly et al, 2015;Rodrigues & Wawzyniak, 2006).…”
