Written by three career experts, An Intelligent Career is a
playbook for the modern knowledge worker, providing a complete
guide that will allow workers to take a composite, dynamic view of
a life's work in the 21st century. "Knowledge work" is fundamental
in today's economy. It is the basis for long-term success in the
global economy and it drives the collective brainpower through
which goods and services are delivered. And today, knowledge work
requires much more than a college degree: it means understanding
the changing nature of work and employment, and the processes
through which knowledge is generated, transferred, and applied. It
means understanding new career possibilities, more dynamic work
arrangements, and the growing demand for knowledge work around the
globe. It means navigating work life with an authenticity that
replaces any straightforward loyalty to a single employer, and
instead calls for better understanding of the self, collaborators,
clients, and customers. Now in paperback, An Intelligent Career
provides clear guidance on how to take charge of your own destiny,
seek continuous learning, collaborate with others, recognize and
act on fresh opportunities, determine when it is time to move on,
and much more.
It is important that schools deliver career education and career
services to all students in order to develop the capacity of
students to adapt to a changing world of work. From ethical and
accountability viewpoints, school career education programs and
career services should be evidence-based, known to improve student
career development outcomes and cost-effective. In this practical
text, experienced career guidance professional, Catherine Hughes,
shows how to design and deliver career services for students in the
upper middle and secondary years (typically Years 7-12) that are
cost-effective and that adopt a strategic approach to the
application of career interventions known to improve student career
development. Essential reading for career practitioners, school
leadership teams, and curriculum coordinators, topics covered
include: * cost-effective approaches to career service delivery in
high schools * effectiveness of different career treatment
modalities * the cognitive information processing approach to
differentiated career service delivery * using the Career
Adapt-Abilities Scale in a differentiated career service delivery
model. This is book two in the series Careers Work in Schools,
written to support the work of career development facilitators in
schools - from those charged with teaching a work-related subject
for the first time to seasoned school-based career practitioners
wanting to refresh their knowledge, understanding and practice.
