    Abstract

    Abstract
    After spending nearly all of their adolescent lives in primary education, young adults depart the high school setting expecting to be adequately prepared to effectively transition to adulthood. Young adults should possess the necessary employability skills to enter the work force without significant setbacks. The skills and knowledge of education are crucial in the quality of service and retention of quality employees. Although high schools are designed to prepare young adults for their future, this study investigates whether students develop the necessary confidence and preparation to successfully transition to higher education or the work force.

    This action-research study began as an examination of secondary education, employability skills, and career readiness at the high school level. The study used qualitative research and personal reports to develop CREST—College Readiness and Employability Skills Transitions—a public charter high school program. The study consisted of qualitative interviews and surveys with high school graduates, parents, staff, and employers in relation to skills and coursework that are beneficial for higher education or the work force.
