Abstract: Career readiness interventions have emerged as a crucial component of secondary education systems worldwide, aiming to bridge the gap between academic learning and workforce demands. This paper examines the effectiveness of such interventions in preparing students for postsecondary education and employment. Drawing on empirical studies and policy frameworks, the study explores how career readiness programs enhance academic achievement, employability skills, and career awareness. The findings reveal that while many interventions produce positive outcomes—particularly in skill development and student engagement—their effectiveness varies depending on implementation quality, teacher preparedness, and integration with curriculum. The paper concludes with recommendations for improving program design and ensuring equitable access to career readiness opportunities.
