Teenage career uncertainty is a common challenge, but addressing it is crucial. 🌍 International data (PISA 2022) reveals that two in five students aged 15 across all OECD countries have no clear career plans. The proportion of students described as career uncertain has grown by more than half since 2018, and it’s a matter of concern. 📉 🔍 Analysis of longitudinal studies from various countries shows that teenagers with clear plans are more likely to achieve better employment outcomes than their peers who are uncertain. The young people with the lowest academic performance are most often uncertain. 🎓 💡 The good news? Career development programs can significantly reduce levels of career uncertainty. However, PISA 2022 indicates that too few students engage in effective interventions. 📚 📄 This new short paper brings together the evidence on career uncertainty.

The Career Industry Council of Australia (CICA) commends the Tasmanian Government on the launch of the Youth Jobs Strategy 2024-2030. This comprehensive initiative demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting young Tasmanians (ages 15-25) by equipping them with the career guidance, education, and skills required for success in an evolving workforce. 💼🌱 We particularly welcome the introduction of the Careers Guidance Framework, which ensures that all young people, regardless of background, have access to relevant and actionable career advice. This framework will significantly enhance workforce readiness by empowering young people with the knowledge and confidence to pursue meaningful employment. 💪✨ CICA also advocates for extending career guidance into the primary years, as early career education helps broaden aspirations and dismantle limiting stereotypes. 📚👧🧑🏫 We look forward to supporting the implementation of this strategy, working alongside the Tasmanian Government to foster a confident and skilled workforce for the future. 📄 To read our full statement, click below 👇 https://ow.ly/FMuL50TuXBO Department for Education, Children and Young People
