Inspired by Amartya Sen's conceptualization of capability, this article examined how the introduction of an experience-driven (ED) framework into the capability approach helps inform the delivery of a career support service project targeted at youth aged 15-21, who are not in education, employment or training (NEET youth) with difficulties to develop their career capabilities. Based on a thematic analysis of ten individual interview transcripts collected from five career practitioners and five ex-users, the study discussed four interlocking domains of experiences and experience-driven career interventions for enhancing youth's capabilities to aspire and realize aspirations with a transition from the zone of proximal development to the zone of aspired development, namely, recognition, exposures, self-growth and transferability. We recommended further research studies on evaluating the effectiveness of using the ED framework for applying the capability approach to strengthening the career capabilities of service users characterized by diversity and vulnerability in different service settings.
受阿玛蒂亚·森能力概念的启发，本文探讨了将经验驱动（ED）框架引入能力方法如何有助于为一个针对15至21岁未接受教育、就业或培训的青年（即“尼特族”青年）开展的职业支持服务项目提供信息，这些青年在发展职业能力方面存在困难。基于对从五位职业从业者和五位前服务对象收集的十份个人访谈记录的主题分析，该研究讨论了经验和经验驱动的职业干预的四个相互关联的领域，以增强青年从最近发展区过渡到理想发展区来渴望并实现抱负的能力，即认可、接触、自我成长和可转移性。我们建议进一步开展研究，评估使用ED框架将能力方法应用于加强不同服务环境中具有多样性和脆弱性的服务对象职业能力的有效性。
