Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Career Pathways: From School to Retirement brings together leading workforce researchers and practitioners to provide new perspectives on school-to-work and workplace career pathways. This groundbreaking book explains the transformations that have taken place in the workplace over the past several decades and how those transformations have combined to produce a dramatically different career landscape. It highlights the important role of career pathways as a framework for workforce and economic development within this quickly evolving career landscape. Bringing together top figures in the field, this volume addresses a wide variety of critically important career pathway topics such as the role of apprenticeships in career pathways, the gig economy and emerging career pathways, career crafting, the role of data analytics in providing career and workforce insights, and career pathways for late career workers. It includes case study chapters that provide important practical insight into the development and use of career pathways in both educational and workplace settings, demonstrating how career pathways can help individuals and organizations succeed in today's workplace and in the workplace of the future.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
