abstract: 'An important measure of success for a college and career readiness
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
program is the extent to which its participants achieve their higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and career goals. We examined one such program, Bridge to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Employment (BTE), to determine its influence on participants''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational and career-related decisions and outcomes after they
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
graduated from high school. The BTE program works with 14-to-18-year-old
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
students in disadvantaged communities across the globe to increase their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
awareness and understanding of health careers and higher education
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
opportunities. We interviewed 23 former BTE participants, representing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
different countries and BTE participation time frames, to provide
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
critical qualitative insights about their experiences, years after the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
program. Key recommendations for college and career readiness programs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
include exposing participants to a wide variety of careers,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strengthening soft skills, clarifying practical steps to prepare for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
college and careers, and providing support for interpersonal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relationships.'
