Unlocking Economic Prosperity: Career Navigation in a Time of Rapid Change

Unlocking Economic Prosperity: Career Navigation in a Time of Rapid Change is a new paper from the Harvard Project on Workforce and the National Fund for Workforce Solutions that dissects the field of career navigation to identify the drivers and barriers that disproportionately prevent Black, Latinx, and Indigenous individuals from economic mobility. The paper evaluates the evidence and practice of career navigation and identifies core design principles, concluding with a set of stakeholder recommendations and research gaps that should be further explored. Ultimately, Unlocking Economic Prosperity lays out an evidence-based, field-informed strategy to enable every individual to pursue rewarding careers, contributing to a more prosperous economy.
