Abstract
Although research shows that information sources play an important role in career choice, few studies investigate the career information seeking behaviour of young adults with a multivariate approach of factors associated with the choice of information sources. This study is aimed at identifying the factors associated with young adults’ career information seeking behaviour in a sample of 1,400 young adults in the province of Quebec, and the information sources they used when collecting information on jobs, career possibilities, further education or training. Results show that more than half of respondents consulted two sources or more and that the most used information sources are personal relationships and educational institutions. The discussion highlights that young adults actively seek information regardless of their school attendance status. It underscores the importance of close relationships—such as family and friends—as key sources of information, and calls for tailored strategies to disseminate information that reflect the diverse needs and characteristics of different groups of young adults.
Keywords:

Résumé
Bien que la recherche montre que les sources d'information jouent un rôle important dans le choix de carrière, peu d'études étudient les pratiques informationnelles sur la carrière des jeunes adultes avec une approche multivariée des facteurs associés au choix des sources d'information. Cette étude visait à identifier les facteurs associés aux pratiques informationnelles sur la carrière des jeunes adultes dans un échantillon de 1 400 jeunes adultes, ainsi que les sources d’informations qu’ils ont utilisées lors de la collecte d’informations sur les emplois, les possibilités de carrière, les études ou la formation continue. Les résultats montrent que plus de la moitié des répondants ont consulté deux sources ou plus et que les sources d'information les plus utilisées sont les relations personnelles et les établissements d'enseignement. La discussion met en évidence l'implication active des jeunes adultes dans la recherche d'information, qu'ils soient scolarisés ou non, l'importance d'accorder une attention particulière aux relations proches comme sources d'information et la nécessité d'explorer des stratégies différenciées de diffusion de l'information selon les catégories de jeunes adultes.
