Our Youth Career Development Research Section was developed to assist readers in learning about youth career development issues and connect them with opportunities for the youth they serve, parent, teach, or mentor. This regularly updated internet resource focuses on: *Career-related learning experiences (CRLEs) required for high school graduation in Oregon and most other states in the United States *Statistics on how learning affects earnings over a lifetime *The importance for Out-of-School-Time (OST) activities for all children, teens, and young adults *Positive Youth Development approach *The importance of soft skill development to prepare for the workplace *Sharing information on youth career development and getting feedback on "What works" for their youth
