What do students think of work? Are they on the right page? Junior secondary school students' perceptions of the world of work : a report prepared for the Smith Family
Abstract
This report examines the educational and occupational plans and aspirations of young people in Years 8 and 9 who were participants in The Smith Family's Learning For Life program. It aims to describe how these young people are preparing for their later years of education and their entry into the world of work and the factors that shaped these plans. The specific research questions were: What are the plans and aspirations of young people and factors associated with these plans? How accurate are the understandings about paths from education to work that young people in the early years of secondary school bring to their plans? [Author abstract]
