2017 Beating the Odds Roadtrip: Key Findings and Insights for Navigating Education and Career. Issue Brief
Bobek, Becky L.; Zhou, Joyce Yile
ACT, Inc.
Navigating education and career paths presents young people with many choices and challenges. Underserved youth are particularly vulnerable to the challenges that can interfere with navigating their paths effectively. At the same time, young people equipped with the knowledge and skills to overcome obstacles are able to succeed and realize the benefits. Opportunities to build the knowledge and skills for navigational success include experiences that provide for 1) learning more about oneself and the environment, 2) using this information to make informed choices and plans, and 3) optimizing resources to help move along education and career paths. The 2017 Beating the Odds Roadtrip was a real-world opportunity for underserved youth to develop and refine some of these skills. [This report was co-produced by Roadtrip Nation.]
