confidence, their sense of belonging is fostered by an instructor that demonstrates

Career choice is an important and often a difficult issue for adolescents.


Several recent studies unfold adolescents’ self-doubt, anxiety and uncertainty in
career decision-making process (Negru-Subtirica, Pop, & Crocetti, 2015; Vignoli,
2015). The perception of negative aspects of the profession (barriers) has an
influence in career choice (Albeit & Luzzo, 1999). High-school students have been
found to perceive very soon barriers to their future college attendance and work lives
(McWhirter, 1997; McWhirter, Hackett & Bandalos, 1998). In Latvia there are many
students in grade 11 and 12 who have not yet even begun to explore career
possibilities seriously (Lubneko & Sebre, 2007). A recent study states that among
Latvian students finishing secondary school, there are quite a lot of respondents
whose career choice is rather unclear” (Jurgena, Gedrovics & Cedere, 2014, p.527).
This delay in career decision may be an obstacle for future career development ,
especially in maritime field, which requires a strong personal and academic
involvement from the very first study year.
