Literature Review
• Cunnien et al. (2009) found that work
experience had a 'spill-over' impact on
adolescent participants.
• Lent et al. (1994) Model of Interest
Development presents self-efficacy as a
key component in the development of
career interests.

Findings so far...
• Focus group results demonstrated the
following themes:
– Theme 1: Intimidation - resulting in a
reduction in self-confidence.
– Theme 2: Confidence-building - resulting in an
increase in self-efficacy.
– Theme 3: Social spaces - different worlds
(student/professional divide); prestige
(London, elite professions)
