A Developmental Perspective on Workplace Readiness: Preparing High School Students for Success

The report summarizes and compares competencies that researchers across three fields have found are necessary to be ready for college, the workplace, and a successful transition to adulthood. It applies a developmental framework to recommendations from each field that reveals where those recommendations fall short, from a developmental perspective, and how they could be strengthened. It also highlights competencies that are particularly salient for students with specific challenges, and effective ways that schools could support their development. A chart of key competencies across fields is included (the citations for each of these competencies are found in the full report).
