Abstract [en]

Using online information resources can increase both the quantity and scope of information available to rural youth regarding possible courses of action after completing schooling, beyond those available in their social spaces and physical places. Assisting their use of online information resources may be crucial for career guidance counsellors in times when information on education, occupations and the labour market are easiest accessed, and sometimes only possible to reach, through the internet. This paper focuses on the extent that young people living in rural areas use online information resources for career learning and specifically explores factors associated with a higher frequency of using such resources. Empirically, it is based on a cross-sectional survey conducted in spring 2021 of practices of Swedish upper secondary school students living in a rural community in their final year (n=267). Possible explanations for identified relations and their implications for career guidance practice are discussed.

Abstract [sv]

Att använda digitala resurser för informationssökning kan utöka mängden och bredden av information gällande möjliga karriäralternativ efter slutförd gymnasieutbildning, utanför de egna sociala och platsbundna sammanhangen, för unga som bor i landsbygd. I tider då information om utbildning, arbete och arbetsmarknad lättast och i många fall endast går att nå via internet kan det vara nödvändigt för studie- och yrkesvägledare att stötta ungdomar i deras användning av digital information. Den här artikeln utforskar i vilken uträckning svenska landsbygdsungdomar använder digitala resurser för karriärlärande. Särskilt fokuseras vilka faktorer som är förknippade med en högre användningsfrekvens. Empiriskt baseras studien på en enkät som genomfördes under våren 2021 bland svenska tredjeårselever som studerade gymnasiet i en skola belägen i landsbygd (n=267). Möjliga förklaringar till identifierade relationer och deras implikationer för vägledning diskuteras.
