OECD: CAREER READINESS DASHBOARD
The OECD with the support of Education and Employers and Amazon has developed a Dashboard that graphically presents the results of the OECD 2022 survey of career thinking and career learning activity of young people, undertaken as a module of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) programme with 15 years-old students. The PISA assesses students’ capacities for literacy, mathematics, and science, using ‘real-life’ tasks.
The PISA career readiness module assessed teenagers’
-Occupational expectations
-Alignment of these expectations with actual national labour market demand
-Engagement in career learning activities (work experience, work shadowing etc.)
-Career thinking (certainty about occupational expectations)
-Career attitudes (self-thoughts and the influences of school, family, and socioeconomic circumstances)
The data points provided are linked to predictors of better employment outcomes for teenagers as found in longitudinal studies: https://issuu.com/oecd.publishing/docs/how-youth-explore-experience-think-about-their-fut
The results are presented by country and differentiated by gender and socioeconomic status.
