摘要

Youth in secure placement facilities report high rates of childhood adversity, potentially undermining career development. This quantitative study analyzed survey data from 468 Korean adolescents in juvenile correctional facilities (mean age 16.4 years, 65.4% male, mean stay 4 months). Participants completed questionnaires on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), career maturity, and participation in three school-based career guidance programs. Path analyses showed that all programs were positively associated with career maturity, but ACEs partially mediated these relationships. Female participants and those with longer stays reported greater ACEs linked to lower career readiness. Findings highlight the need for trauma-responsive career education for youth involved in the juvenile justice system.
