Few young people have access to the essential career navigation services they need to make informed decisions about their education and career options after high school. Without this guidance, many are left uncertain about what to pursue next, unable to support themselves and their families, and unsure of which paths to take to reach their goals.
State leaders can help. By adopting policies that contribute to the development of a comprehensive, integrated, and effective career navigation system, states can empower more young people ages 16-24 to gain the skills, credentials, and connections that lead to meaningful, quality jobs.
