Helping Rural Adolescents Make Successful Postsecondary Transitions: A Longitudinal Study
Lapan, Richard T.; Aoyagi, Mark; Kayson, Marc
Professional School Counseling, v10 n3 p266-272 Feb 2007
The longitudinal study in this article tested whether advantages in the career development of high school seniors resulted in better transition outcomes for these young adults 3 years after they graduated from high school. Enhanced career development in high school was significantly connected to more successful transitions into the adult roles of worker and learner and to greater satisfaction with one's life. Providing consistent and competent career development services to all students in high school is an essential task for professional school counselors. (Contains 1 table and 1 figure.)
