Scoping Review on Career and Vocational Development Education for Rural Transition-Age Youth
Rural communities benefit from hosting an active school, but in an education system that values academics,
investing resources in student civic engagement is often
low on a school's
priority list. To help address this issue,
new policies, programs, and practices are being
designed
to serve the needs of students, schools, and communities
in order to garner
maximum interest and support;
evaluations of new strategy outcomes are also necessary
to
ensure long-term relevance and sustainability. In this
review we provide a general
description of the curricular
and extracurricular career education opportunities
available to
Canadian and American secondary students,
and of purported best practices within the
literature that
are meant to improve youth career development.
