Transition age youth and young adults (TAYYAs) diagnosed with serious mental health conditions (SMHCs) are at greater risk of being unemployed compared to their peers without SMHCs. Job counseling and job placement services are the greatest predictor of competitive employment, yet we have limited knowledge about what TAYYAs believe they need to obtain gainful employment. In person, qualitative interviews were conducted with 57 non-Hispanic and Hispanic TAYYAs with SMHCs enrolled in three vocational support programs in MA (Vocational Rehabilitation, Individual Placement and Support; the Clubhouse Model as described by the International Center for Clubhouse Development). Six themes emerged from the data: three themes were identified as social capital (supportive relationships, readily available workplace supports, and vocational preparation), two themes related to human capital (effective educational supports and work experience), and one theme related to cultural capital (social skills training). Unique features (Spanish-speaking staff and/or familiar in Latino culture, familial-like staff support) were frequently noted by Hispanic TAYYAs.
与没有严重心理健康问题（SMHCs）的同龄人相比，被诊断患有严重心理健康问题的转型期青年和年轻人（TAYYAs）失业风险更高。职业咨询和就业安置服务是获得竞争性就业的最大预测因素，但我们对TAYYAs认为他们需要什么才能获得有报酬的工作了解有限。我们对马萨诸塞州三个职业支持项目（职业康复、个人安置与支持；国际俱乐部发展中心描述的俱乐部模式）中57名患有SMHCs的非西班牙裔和西班牙裔TAYYAs进行了面对面的定性访谈。数据中出现了六个主题：三个主题被确定为社会资本（支持性的关系、随时可用的工作场所支持和职业准备），两个主题与人力资本有关（有效的教育支持和工作经验），一个主题与文化资本有关（社交技能培训）。西班牙裔TAYYAs经常提到一些独特的特点（说西班牙语的工作人员和/或熟悉拉丁文化、类似家庭的工作人员支持）。
