Foreword by Colonel Dame Kelly Holmes. Regardless of one's plans for the future, many people's careers are founded on a series of chance encounters, experiences and serendipity. School, college, university, jobs, family, sports, hobbies, friends, relationships - these are all fertile grounds for career-related conversations and explorations.What if we teachers, guides, mentors, parents and peers started to notice these seemingly unconnected happenings and, indeed, started to engineer and encourage them to happen? Using the mantra 'every adult is a careers teacher', The Ladder will inspire teachers to explicitly link their subject area to students' futures, both in school and outside its walls, and support them in doing so. Bernie draws upon his 30-year career in education and business development to bring clarity, focus and ideas to educators as to how they can best start students on their own ladders to success. Ultimately, in writing this book, Bernie's aim is to bring young people's futures to life with some personal skills reflection and forward planning designed to help them as they embark on their fulfilling futures - regardless of their upbringing, academic achievements or ethnic background.

Maria Richter betrachtet in ihrer empirischen Studie den Berufsorientierungsprozess von HauptschulerInnen und analysiert, ob diesbezuglich Unterschiede zwischen Jugendlichen verschiedener ethnischer Herkunft bestehen. Besonders in den Fokus ruckt die Autorin den Einfluss der Eltern und Peers. Ihre Analysen zeigen, dass vorhandene Defizite bei Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund vor allem auf geringere Kenntnisse der Eltern uber das deutsche Ausbildungssystem sowie eine fehlende Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt zuruckgefuhrt werden koennen. Zudem weisen die Ergebnisse auf institutionelle Kompositionseffekte hin, d. h., die Zusammensetzung der Schulerschaft einer Schulklasse ist relevant. Insbesondere Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund profitieren von den berufsrelevanten Kenntnissen ihrer MitschulerInnen. Maria Richter liefert damit neue Erkenntnisse zum Berufsorientierungsprozess von HaupschulerInnen.

What can one life teach about the unfolding of opportunities into developing careers? From a 20th century social scientist at the forefront of science education and science policy who transitioned between positions in universities, federal agencies, and nonprofit organizations, we learn 21st century lessons. Daryl Chubin speaks to students, educators, and program directors about demographic changes, forms of scholarship, the functions of community, and marginality as an analytical perspective on the contexts of careers. As physicist-historian Thomas Kuhn asserted in his 1977 book, The Essential Tension, a prerequisite for making progress in science is the need to preserve an essential tension between tradition and innovation. Similarly, one beholds "essential tensions" when looking in on organizations, policies, and careers. As a white man studying the underrepresentation of women and persons of color in science and engineering, Chubin by definition was on the outside, different from his subjects while straddling a range of professional roles. He asks: What are the advantages and disadvantages of an outsider perspective? How should advocacy emerge from analysis? How do organizations capitalize on "difference"? If diversity, equity, and inclusion are valued, how does this change the way staff views its work, workforce, and place in the national culture? Science Organizations and Careers illustrates that social science differs from natural science and engineering. Each has its methods, norms, and heroes, but social science looks in and is parasitic on scientists and engineers-administrators in research institutions, scholars, elected officials, and educators at all levels of sophistication. These have been Chubin's subjects, colleagues, and conundrums. They have shaped him, bent him toward their view, educated, alienated, and applauded him. Readers, too, will have their own characters, organizations, and ambivalence with which to cope in the contradictions of their careers. This book helps to make sense of it all.

Mit der Modellierung von Strukturgleichungsmodellen analysiert Stefanie Morgenroth erstmals die komplexen Zusammenhange zwischen Ressourcen, Stressbewaltigungsstrategien und verschiedenen Formen der Lehrerkooperation. Mit der qualitativen Methode der empirisch begrundeten Typenbildung deckt die Autorin erganzend auf, wie sich Autonomie als Bedingungsressource von Lehrerkooperation genauer beschreiben lasst. Auf Basis eines sequentiellen triangulativen Designs ermoeglicht die Analyse der Bedeutung und des Umgangs mit Belastungen fur die Ausubung intensiver Lehrerkooperation damit wertvolle Einblicke in die Erfolgsfaktoren der praktischen Anwendung.

Duale Studiengange haben sich in Deutschland etabliert und sind weiterhin auf Expansionskurs. Keine 'Abi-Messe', auf der dieser Weg nicht an pointierter Stelle beworben wird. Die Moeglichkeit, zwei Abschlusse, einen beruflichen und einen akademischen, gleichzeitig zu erlangen, ist fur viele studienberechtigte Jugendliche sehr attraktiv. Der hohe Praxisbezug und die guten Karrierechancen sind die vorrangigen Motive fur Schulabganger, sich fur diese Studienform, die ein hohes Mass an Disziplin und Selbstorganisation von ihnen verlangt, zu entscheiden. Der steigenden Nachfrage steht zwischenzeitlich ein relativ breit gefachertes Angebot an den Hochschulen gegenuber. Vorrangig Fachhochschulen, aber auch einige Universitaten, haben die Zeichen der Zeit erkannt und oeffnen sich der Kooperation mit Betrieben, Kammern und Berufskollegs zur Implementation neuer dualer Studiengange.

Die Publikation beschaftigt sich mit den Lehrerbildungsstrukturen in England und Deutschland und deren Wandel unter bildungspolitischen Reforminitiativen. Trotz Parallelen in Reformdiskursen und -instrumenten, hinsichtlich der praktischen Fokussierungen und Wirkungen von Reforminitiativen existieren deutliche Differenzen. Die Beitrage deuten dabei darauf, dass die Durchsetzung bildungspolitischer Steuerungsmassnahmen bis in die Mikroebene von Lehrerausbildung und Lehrprofession letztlich scheinbar stringenter in den marktorientierten Strukturen Englands gelingt als in den stark staatlich-reglementierten Strukturen Deutschlands.

Governance in Initial Teacher Education: Perspectives on England and

Germany

This publication examines institutional structures in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) in England and Germany and changes to these prompted by political reform. Although there are parallels in the discourses concerning reforms to ITE in both countries, the focus and the outcomes of the reforms differ. The contributions to the book indicate that the micro-level implementation of educational governance measures appears to be more stringent in the English market-oriented structure than in the strongly state-regulated structure of the German Federal State."

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.

This book is for anyone and everyone looking to 'win' in corporate or personal life. However, this book will be very useful for management students trying to make their careers in the corporate world and managers/executives willing to climb the ladder of hierarchy to be effective senior managers.

The school-to-work transition is a critical part of the human life-span for young adults, their families, and society. The timing of the transition varies greatly and its co-occurrence with a number of other life transitions make it challenging to summarize or generalize. Individual differences and normative developmental factors, as well as external contextual factors such as global pandemics, changing economic circumstances, workplace demands, and cultural shifts, intersect to create a range of challenges and opportunities for those navigating this transition. Written by internationally renowned scholars in developmental psychology, applied psychology, counseling, and sociology, the chapters in this book highlight the trends, issues, and actions that researchers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers need to consider in order to effectively support young adults' transition to work pathways. This volume provides an explicitly international perspective on this area, broad coverage of psychological topics on the school-to-work transition, and an inclusive focus on sub-groups and minority groups, making it a must-read for those who support young adults as they move from school to work.
