Education Week recently covered research commissioned by The DeBruce Foundation examining the connection between career literacy and employment security in a rapidly changing economy. The article highlights why developing career literacy in schools matters, noting that these skills develop over time and can help students understand their strengths, explore career possibilities, and prepare to navigate an evolving workforce:
Career literacy is a strong predictor of employment security in the modern economy, a recent report by The DeBruce Foundation suggests.
Career literacy is associated not only with employment security, but also with higher incomes, satisfaction with nonwage benefits and long-term savings, and a capacity to manage employment disruptions and transitions, according to the report, which draws from nationally representative surveys of about 36,000 Americans ages 18-64 conducted between 2021 and 2025.
The article also features insights from Dr. Leigh Anne Taylor Knight, Executive Director and COO of The DeBruce Foundation, on the importance of developing career literacy early. For more, read The Job Market Is Changing. Report Makes the Case for Career Literacy from Education Week.
