Vocational Self-Estimates and Perceived Competencies of Native High School Students: Implications for Vocational Guidance Counselling.

Krebs, Elfie; And Others

Canadian Journal of Counselling, v22 n4 p212-25 Oct 1988

Examined vocational self-estimates and competencies of 114 native high school students in northern Manitoba who completed the Holland Self-Directed Search (SDS). There were significant differences on SDS self-estimate scales between the native students and a comparison group of 3,865 non-native high school students. Native students had less confidence in their vocational skills and their employment opportunities. (Author/NB)
