ABSTRACT

A growing body of literature has focused on issues of migration in career development and guidance, however typically this research has focused on international migration rather than migration within a country’s borders. This paper presents a specific case study of internal migration in the UK context, focusing on young people from two island communities as they move through higher education and into the working world. The paper is specifically focused on the importance of cultural differences, including workplace cultures, with regard to students’ career development. The findings demonstrate the relevance of internal migration pathways to career development and indicate that a culturally informed approach to career guidance practice is important when working with internal as well as international migrants.

摘要

越来越多的文献关注职业发展和指导中的移民问题，但通常这项研究关注的是国际移民，而不是一国境内的移民。本文介绍了英国背景下内部移民的具体案例研究，重点关注来自两个岛屿社区的年轻人在接受高等教育并进入工作世界的过程中。该论文特别关注文化差异（包括工作场所文化）对学生职业发展的重要性。研究结果证明了国内移民途径与职业发展的相关性，并表明在与国内和国际移民合作时，采用文化知情的职业指导实践方法很重要。
