Sammendrag

Att använda digitala resurser för informationssökning kan utöka mängden och bredden av information gällande möjliga karriäralternativ efter slutförd gymnasieutbildning, utanför de egna sociala och platsbundna sammanhangen, för unga som bor i landsbygd. I tider då information om utbildning, arbete och arbetsmarknad lättast och i många fall endast går att nå via internet kan det vara nödvändigt för studie- och yrkesvägledare att stötta ungdomar i deras användning av digital information. Den här artikeln utforskar i vilken uträckning svenska landsbygdsungdomar använder digitala resurser för karriärlärande. Särskilt fokuseras vilka faktorer som är förknippade med en högre användningsfrekvens. Empiriskt baseras studien på en enkät som genomfördes under våren 2021 bland svenska tredjeårselever som studerade gymnasiet i en skola belägen i landsbygd (n=267). Möjliga förklaringar till identifierade relationer och deras implikationer för vägledning diskuteras.
