다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to explore the career selection process of multicultural youth outside of school and to find institutional and social measures to support their career preparation. To this end, four multicultural youth outside of school were selected as participants in the study, and group in-depth and individual interviews were conducted. Based on the collected data, in-case analysis and inter-case analysis were conducted in parallel, and through this, the contextual understanding of the career selection process of individual case participants and major issues were identified, and topics that are common in all cases were derived. As a result of the study, a total of five main topics were derived. 1) school maladjustment due to lack of emotional support and low self-esteem from parents, 2) disconnection of friendship and social isolation, 3) experience of career barriers due to lack of career information and academic background, 4) self-directed efforts to find resources despite lack of support from parents, and 5) seeking a career path suitable for interest and aptitude and demonstrating resilience. Based on these findings, it was suggested that social welfare support measures such as providing customized career counseling and mentoring, developing career education programs for multicultural youth, strengthening the support system of parents and local communities, and expanding access to career information are needed to alleviate structural difficulties experienced by multicultural youth outside of school.
