Exploring the career development of young people with refugee backgrounds: Finding voice through narrative inquiry

(2018) Exploring the career development of young people with refugee backgrounds: Finding voice through narrative inquiry. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis explored the career development of recently resettled young people with refugee backgrounds who have been through a long migration journey before arriving in Australia. Using narrative inquiry, the participants of this qualitative research found an opportunity to story their future career plans and decisions. The findings revealed stories of transition, hope, resilience and perseverance in diverse contexts of the pre-, within- and post-migration journey. Several implications were introduced for career practice, theory, research and policy.
