FIVE AREAS TO ADDRESS FOR
S U C C E S S WITH THE
HARD-TO-EMPLOY AND C A R E E R S

careers and jobs and may not know many
people in careers.
3. They may not see the advantages of
pursuing a career over a job.
4. They may not have any idea about what
career would be a good match for them.
5. Even when hard-to-employ people know
these things, they may not believe they will
be successful in careers.

RAISING VOCATIONAL SELF-EFFICACY
1. Vocational self-efficacy is what an
individual believes about their ability to be
successful in the world of work.
2. Many hard-to-employ people have low
vocational self-efficacy. They think they
can do some jobs, but will not be
successful in a career.
3. An important key to success in careers with
the hard-to-employ is to help them raise
their vocational self-efficacy so they can
believe they will be successful in careers.
