antiguan youth and career selection

In 2015, the Antigua & Barbuda Council on Sustainable Development produced a research paper on how Antiguan youth make the choice of which career paths to pursue. The study produced some concerning findings about the disconnect between what youth are encouraged to study versus what fields are essential and lacking within our society. 

​

The purpose of this paper is to first, capture data related to youth career selection and provoke discussion in order to sensitize the country’s political directorate, school administrators, and relevant stakeholders of educational institutions, to the evident underlying issues surrounding youth career choice. 

The study also seeks to provide recommendation for the addressed and correcting the issues identified during the research process.
