Résumé

Les jeunes adultes indigènes connaissent des taux de chômage disproportionnés, qui sont exacerbés par des facteurs systémiques tels que la pauvreté et l'oppression (Britten & Borgen, 2010). Malgré ces défis, de nombreux jeunes adultes indigènes réussissent bien dans leurs études et dans leur recherche d'emploi (Bougie et al., 2013). Cette étude a exploré ce qui a aidé et entravé la prise de décision de carrière de 18 jeunes adultes indigènes du Canada qui se considèrent comme ayant de bons résultats à cet égard. À l'aide de la technique améliorée de l'incident critique (ECIT), une méthode de recherche qualitative qui se concentre sur les facteurs aidants et entravants (Butterfield et al., 2009), 13 catégories ont été identifiées : (a) Famille/Relations et engagements, (b) Fixer des objectifs/Prendre des initiatives/Concentrer ses intérêts, (c) Soutien de la communauté/mentors, (d) Une manière saine (physique, mentale, sociale), (e) Trouver un sens/motivation et contribuer, (f) Réseautage et qui vous connaissez, (g) Facteurs systémiques/externes (institution, (g) Facteurs systémiques/externes (institution, marché du travail, sexisme, racisme, aspects interpersonnels), (h) Situation financière, (i) Connaissance/information/certitude, (j) Expérience (travail/vie privée), (k) Possibilités d'éducation/formation et éducation spécialisée, (l) Origine autochtone/facteurs culturels, et (m) Courage et estime de soi (vs. peur/doute de soi/des autres).
