A Longitudinal Study of the Talent Search Program
Brewer, Ernest W.; Landers, Jama McMahan
Journal of Career Development, v31 n3 p195-208 Mar 2005
This longitudinal study examined the impact of participation in the federally funded Talent Search program at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. The Talent Search program provides career exploration and counseling services to low-income students with the potential to be first-generation college graduates. Postsecondary education enrollment rates of 758 Talent Search participants were compared with enrollment rates of a control group of 450 individuals who were eligible for Talent Search services but did not participate. Chi-square analysis revealed that Talent Search participants were significantly more likely to enroll in postsecondary education than were members of the control group ([rho] less than 0.001). These results have implications for career development services provided to low-income, potential first-generation college graduates.
