Policymakers have invested heavily to create new career pathways for the nation’s high school students. But many students lack the guidance they need to take advantage of these expanding opportunities. The problem is the subject of FutureEd’s latest report, Future Shock: The Crisis in Career Navigation, written by Senior Fellow Anne Kim.
Drawing on research, surveys, and interviews with experts across education and workforce development, the report explores why so many young people feel unprepared to make decisions about college and careers, the consequences of that reality, and the innovative programs and technologies that are emerging to help young people chart stronger paths from school to careers.
