When adolescents face times of crisis, two key resources are determinant for their personal and professional development: career adaptability and courage. Career adaptability is vital to increase adolescents’ ability to accept and handle the uncertainty and ambiguity of the world of work, whereas courage is crucial in this current period of historic change, as it seems to be a key resource for career decision-making in relation to perceived future risks. After a review of international research on these two dimensions, we present a cross-cultural study on the predictive role of career adaptability and courage among French, Greek, and Italian adolescents. Finally, we provide specific suggestions for career counseling and guidance.

Abstract

When adolescents face times of crisis, two key resources are determinant for their personal and professional development: career adaptability and courage. Career adaptability is vital to increase adolescents’ ability to accept and handle the uncertainty and ambiguity of the world of work, whereas courage is crucial in this current period of historic change, as it seems to be a key resource for career decision-making in relation to perceived future risks. After a review of international research on these two dimensions, we present a cross-cultural study on the predictive role of career adaptability and courage among French, Greek, and Italian adolescents. Finally, we provide specific suggestions for career counseling and guidance.
