This project team will work with a community advisory board of young people and partners from two schools to create a new measure of critical career readiness tailored to economically marginalized adolescents. The measure will assess how students’ awareness of employment discrimination, stigma, and access to employment-related resources can empower them to explore their career interests and plan their educational career trajectories.

Data Sources 

• Data: Cognitive validity interviews (N = 30) with the critical career readiness survey; psychometric validation study of the critical career readiness survey with economically marginalized adolescents ages 14 through 18 (N = 600)
• Mobility Outcomes: None
