Abstract |
This study examined the situation of young people who have used the regional youth supportstation (RYSS) program after they have achieved employment. Discussions on youth employment support have so fa...r lacked a perspective on the daily and professional lives of young people after they have achieved employment and have not sufficiently assessed whether young people can rely on their supporters again when they have problems in their professional lives. Accordingly, this research explored how young people maintained their relationship with RYSS after achieving employment, whether they could rely on RYSS when they had problems, and how the relationship with RYSS changed. The young people in the case study wanted to rely on RYSS to help them cope with their problems after they started working. However, when they faced problems, they could not always casually rely on RYSS. They were reluctant to consult RYSS when they did not have the mental or time capacity to do so although they thought that they needed the advice and support of others. Moreover, as they became accustomed to their jobs and gained confidence, they stopped consulting RYSS for minor problems, and their relationship with RYSS became weaker. Therefore, one effective way to maintain the relationship between the young people and RYSS after they have achieved employment is to continue encouraging them.show more
