| Abstract | Students are not succeeding in post-secondary education in California: 52% of community college students and 46% of students in 4-year institutions fail to graduate within 6 years. Traditionally underrepresented students have far higher rates of non-completion. In part this is because they have not been given an opportunity to engage in a comprehensive school guidance program with access for all students, beginning with career readiness in middle school. The "Building a Bridge to Your Future" (Bingham & Miles, 2016) curriculum was examined in a quantitative study to determine the impact of a middle school career readiness curriculum. The Childhood Career Development Survey (2004) based on Super's (1990) nine domains of childhood career development was used as the pretest and posttest instrument with 194 students. Curriculum implementation was not carried out with integrity; results showed no difference between implementation and control school groups except for a slight gain in the Key Figures domain. However, analyses revealed meaningful differences by gender, ethnicity, and school grade, and frequencies in responses to items showed patterns in middle school student career development thinking. Implications are a need for comprehensive scope-and-sequence career guidance for all students starting with career readiness in middle school; additional career development support for certain student populations; and access to career mentors, exposure to role models, and provision of work-based learning for middle school students.
