STEM技术人员和技术专家的职业可以为学生提供选择；但是，由于技术职业的历史价值下降，加上对这一职业组内的具体选择缺乏认识和熟悉，导致训练有素和有准备的专业人员短缺。本研究以社会认知职业生涯理论为基础，探讨了大学生对技术STEM职业的认知、高中阶段的职业探索经历，以及科学兴趣、职业决策和技术职业知识之间的关系。这项调查的结果表明，大多数STEM技术人员和技术人员的职业几乎不熟悉。然而，调查结果也显示，学生们正在进行职业探索，许多人在高中阶段使用不止一种资源进行探索。对学校辅导员、教师、家庭成员和社区成员的影响，提出了具体解决注意到的问题。
STEM technician and technologist careers can be accessible options for students; however, the historical devaluing of technical careers combined with a lack of awareness and familiarity with the specific options within this career cluster have resulted in a shortage of trained and prepared professionals. Grounded in social cognitive career theory, this survey study explores college students' knowledge of technical STEM careers, their high school career exploration experiences, and the relationship between science interest, career decision‐making, and technical career knowledge. Results from this survey indicate there is little to no familiarity with the majority of the STEM technician and technologist careers presented. However, results also show students are engaging in career exploration, and many are using more than one resource for exploration in their high school years. Implications for school counselors, teachers, family members, and community members are presented to specifically address the noted concerns.
