The OECD and ICCDPP will be working together over the next six months on teenage career planning thinking and behaviour.

Research to date suggests that:

• The career planning thinking and behaviour of teenagers impacts on their adult employment success and transitions – the more engagement, the more success
• Teenagers may under-estimate or over-estimate the qualifications that they need for the job that they are aiming for
• Under-estimation suggests a lack of knowledge and understanding of the qualifications required for occupations and of the learning pathways to these 
• Disadvantaged students are more likely to under-estimate the requirements
• Engagement by employers in careers education/learning programmes can have a positive outcome value on the adult employment success of teenagers. View reports and publications: https://www.educationandemployers.org/ 

Examples sought: programmes and activities that are effective in helping teenagers to explore and experience the world of work. Please send your examples to Jonathan.Diaz@oecd.org
