Education and Employment Hope (Self-Reliance) Assessment of High School Juniors and Seniors on ND American Indian Reservations.

Data from the Hope survey provides information about students’ self confidence in reaching their goals, their sources of support, and their perceptions of possible barriers to future education and employment. These survey results add to the understanding about students’ perceived “self-reliance,” and the degree to which they feel confident to make choices, take action and take charge of their lives.

North Dakota State University School of Nursing (NDSU SON), in collaboration with ԰ (԰) Next Steps Program, applied for and received one of the five University Partnership Research Grants for Health Professional Opportunity Grants (#90PH0019). This grant was a multi-pronged evaluation of the Next Steps Program and focused on projects relevant to career pathways in the health professions, including education and training services for tribal communities to overcome barriers to higher education and employment.
