There is a pressing need for increased policy support for multicultural youths in their pursuit of socioeconomic self-reliance. According to a 2022 study conducted by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVET), multicultural youths perceived their level of career maturity to be relatively low when compared to their non-multicultural counterparts. Furthermore, immigrant multicultural youths exhibited lower levels of self-reliance skills compared to multicultural youths who were born and raised in Korea. Noteworthy, multicultural youths expressed aspirations to pursue careers as IT specialists (7.6% of all respondents), teachers (7.1%), and white-collar office workers (7.1%). Their responses encompassed a total of 53 different occupations, underscoring their diverse range of career interests. It is imperative to take into account the backgrounds and characteristics of multicultural youths when designing career and vocational training programs, particularly those rooted in Korean language education, to facilitate their successful transition to independence.
