La exploração vocacional em jovens: Estudo com grupos específicos || Career exploration in young people: Study with specific groups

Abstract

This work presents two studies of career exploration with specific groups of youth, using the Career Exploration Survey (CES). The first study compares the career exploration process of 136 foster-care youth and 186 youth living with their families, using the One-Way MANOVA. In the second study we analyzed the process of career exploration of 323 young people in vocational education, comparing it with the 208 regular education using the T-Test. Implications for career intervention with specific groups will be taken based on the results.

Por que os adolescentes buscam fazer orientação profissional? Um estudo preditivo com estudantes brasileiros

Tais características poderiam ser promovidas através da disponibilização de meios para que os adolescentes tenham contato com informações sobre seus interesses, habilidades, valores e necessidades.…”
