Abstract [en]

Digital technologies broaden opportunities for accessing career information andsupport, which some argue to be unlimited by time and space. The internet couldgive rural youth access to information resources beyond those available within theirlocal community. However, little is known about the extent to which rural youth utiliseonline career resources or how it could widen their perspectives while learning aboutcareers. This study focuses on rural upper secondary school students’ use of onlinecareer resources and their perceived role in their career learning when graduating. Across-sectional survey of year 12 upper secondary students (n = 267) from 21 schoolsin rural Sweden was conducted, revealing the complexity of youth career learning asa continuing interrelation between people and spaces. Opportunities and challengespresented by the online space are discussed as they relate to rural students’ careerlearning in their final year of upper secondary school. 

Abstract [sv]

Digitala tekniker ökar utbudet av karriärinformation och -stöd, och gör det obundetav tid och plats. Internet ger ungdomar på landsbygd bättre tillgång till varieradkarriärinformation, än vad som finns i det egna lokalsamhället. Men det saknaskunskap om i vilken utsträckning landsbygdsungdomar använder sig av webbaseradekarriärresurser, och hur det bidrar till vidgade perspektiv i deras karriärlärande.Denna studie fokuserar hur gymnasieungdomar i landsbygd använder webbaseradekarriärresurser, och vilken betydelse det har för deras karriärlärande införövergången från gymnasieskolan. En enkät genomfördes med tredjeårselever (n =267) i gymnasieskolor på landsbygden. Resultatet beskriver en komplexitet i ungaskarriärlärande, som präglas av ett samspel mellan människa och plats. Möjligheter ochutmaningar i det digitala rummet diskuteras i förhållande till landsbygdsungdomarskarriärlärande under deras sista år i gymnasieskolan.
