Using a sample of 324 young adults in four urban centres who left
high school in the mid-1980s as well as interviews with
representative parents, former teachers, and employers, the authors
identify factors that ease transition from school to. These include
level of education, social class, gender, ethnicity, aspirations of
parents, help from role models, participation in co-op education,
and most important of all, self-motivation. The authors describe a
range of youth profiles -- uncommitted, non-careerists,
conservatives, and innovators -- that will help youth, parents, and
educators identify present development and how to improve
performance. Emphasizing the importance of co-operative education,
the authors suggest that closer relations between school and work,
such as exist in the United Kingdom and Sweden, facilitate
transition into the labour market. On Their Own will guide parents,
youth, educators, trustees, employers, and ministries of education
and training to prepare a new generation of productive, resilient
workers and managers for success in the information age.
