Supporting children’s career aspirations under changing career conditions: a systematic review of intervention approaches

Abstract

Various trends, including increasing career transitions and job automation, are creating complexities for interventions that support children’s and adolescents’ career aspirations. To gain insights and identify gaps in how children’s and adolescents’ career aspirations are supported under changing career conditions, we conducted a systemic review of approaches used in career aspiration intervention studies. Of the 45 studies meeting the inclusion criteria, most focused on select demographic groups, sector-specific objectives and learning content (predominantly STEM related), with limited content addressing changes within occupations and job markets. Possible approaches to enhance interventions and promote a meta-understanding of job change are discussed.
