In the current era where lifelong learning is brought to the fore,
higher education can no longer be regarded as an isolated
trajectory within one's educational career as many students face
substantial challenges in crafting their professional future. More
specifically, the transition from school to higher education and
continuing to the labour market are often a difficult hurdles for
many students. Almost half of students do not succeed in the first
year and often withdraw from education, students are faced with a
variety of contexts and may choose to study in a different
(international) context, and they are then confronted with
structural barriers in finding a (high-quality) job, as evidenced
by increasing levels of youth unemployment and underemployment.
Higher Education Transitions aims to deepen our understanding of
the transitions taking place when students enter, progress and
leave higher education to enter the labour market. Drawing on an
international team of contributors, this guide includes three
conceptual and fifteen empirical studies which include a range of
quantitative, qualitative, cross-sectional and longitudinal
studies. Divided into three sections to reflect each important
transition phase, topics include: transitions from secondary to
higher education; transitions within higher education; transitions
from higher education to the labour market. By considering
transitions across different phases as a broad and interrelated
process, this guide will be essential reading for higher education
researchers, policy stakeholders and all those interested in the
transitions into higher education and the labour market.
Future-oriented education needs to invest in the connectivity
between learning and working in order to realise its full
potential. This book presents guiding principles on how to build
these successful connections. By taking an educational perspective
and enriching it with insights from human resource development,
this book explores the why, how and what of designing for
connectivity. This edited volume presents the current knowledge
about educational practices and principles that help to realise
connectivity between learning and working experiences. Introducing
the central perspectives of workplace learning and learning
environments at the boundary of school and work, this book presents
key research that examines how educators and professionals from
organisations and schools can come together with the purpose of
realising connectivity in educational programmes. Empirical
research showcasing both theoretical and practical insights from
real life cases are at the heart of this book. Considering the
barriers to achieving connectivity, this book also focuses on how
it can be achieved, with ideas and guidance about communication,
design principles and best practices. Using carefully chosen
international examples, this book is ideal reading for policy
makers, practitioners and researchers looking to learn more about
connecting learning and working experiences.

This volume provides alternatives for tackling existing empirical,
methodological, and analytical challenges. It does so by providing
a broad overview of less established, as well as emerging methods,
which are of great relevance for current research on professional
learning and development. As such, it offers a comprehensive
collection of state-of-the-art methodologies and future directions
within the workplace learning and professional development
research. By describing these novel approaches and providing
empirical illustrations, the book promotes innovative methodologies
for investigating professional learning and development. It also
supports scholars to understand upcoming empirical research and
methods and encourages novice as well as established researchers to
adopt new empirical strategies beyond traditional ones that have
the potential to enrich a better understanding of professional
learning and development.
