Its respect for practitioners, opportunity to identify trends and promising practices, and timeliness complements the role of academically based and referred research journals. One of the Journal's noticeable advantages is its openness and ability to capture the practitioner's voice. Its wisdom honors the realization that practice can lead to theory. This special contribution connects readers to areas often overlooked within the career development literature.Readers of this special issue on Career Development in Corporations have an opportunity to look over the shoulders of career development specialists bringing leadership to corporations from within corporate offices, or as consultants bringing group or individual interventions into organizations. Each article's author(s) report on the power of career development principles. The natural tension between organizational and personal goals, as well as needs and opportunities are identified within each article. Each article illustrates career development's increasing value in advancing workforce learning, self-directed learning and career management, continuous performance improvement, and the importance of building the business case for career development within corporations.Collectively the ten articles provide an introduction and set of foundation principles to individual contributors, a form of benchmarking to consultants, and a set of promising practices to managers and leaders considering employing career development as a strategy to increase alignment, engagement and program improvement within organizations.Mimi Brent and Adela Perez, lead General Motors global career development initiatives which provides innovative career development resources to more than 70,000 early, mid and late career employees at nearly 400 locations on six continents to recruit and retain the world's best talent. Their article Career Development at GM: Accelerating Careers through Core Values and Conversations speaks to employee feedback calling for more career resources accessible from a central location, as well as visible career paths to help employees design their careers. Recognizing different needs, depending on where employees are within their career, is critical to helping others \"grow up, across ad in place\" when both growing one's career and the employee's role as the main pillar of career development is acknowledged.

New York NY: Scribner. 270 Pages. Hardcover. $27.00Education expert Tony Wagner reveals how innovation can be nurtured among young people by parents, educators, and employers, and he explains why it is imperative for the U.S. economy to do so.It is not news to hear business leaders say that the U.S. economy needs more people creating innovations in the areas of science, technology and engineering, the so-called STEM field, in order to boost wealth and create jobs by developing new products and technologies that other countries want and need but cannot produce.In his previous book, The Global Achievement Gap, Wagner describes seven skills students will need for careers and college in the twenty-first century: problem-solving, collaboration, agility/adaptability, initiative/ agility, written and oral skills, assessment/analysis, and curiosity/ imagination. In this book Wagner argues that the U.S. educational system is not educating young people to become innovators. Because innovation is not taught, nor tested, in our school system, the U.S. will lag in an increasingly competitive global market if this does not change.What is innovation? Innovation is the ability to think creatively to address a problem, and to take risks and learn from mistakes, or it is \"creative problem solving\" to some. Wagner interviewed hundreds of young innovators and educators to determine if innovation could be taught and found that all innovators have sense of purpose and passion. In addition to the seven skills listed above, innovators possess qualities such as perseverance and ability to take calculated risks and tolerate failure.In interviews and focus groups with parents of young innovators Wagner noticed several recurring themes in their parenting. All encouraged their child to play creatively at an early age and to try out things and bounce back if a failure resulted. This was to him the child learn to overcome setbacks. Further, the parents encouraged their child to read and be exposed to new ideas, and to play with toys that encouraged imagination and invention. While all were actively involved with their children, they did not act as helicopter parents controlling every aspect of their child's life and protecting them from making mistakes and learning from them.Wagner interviewed outstanding educators who made intentional changes in their teaching style and classroom experiences to inspire innovation in their students, both in secondary and post-secondary environments. Students do not need more education but a different kind of education which converts classroom experiences into collaborative problem-solving events and tailors learning to the individual's learning experience. …","PeriodicalId":307782,"journal":{"name":"The Career Planning and Adult Development Journal","volume":"297 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123196982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no debate on the value of at least one internship experience for college students, and many experts recommend obtaining as many internships as possible. Internships not only help students hone their career interests, but also provide valuable work experience that will help them land a great job upon graduation. The Ferguson Career Resource Guide to Internships and Summer Jobs is the one tool that all students-high school, college, and grad school-should have at their fingertips to help navigate the waters of preparing for, finding, obtaining, and succeeding in an internship. This book is a great resource that provides tools that will help students well beyond simply obtaining an internship. At $125 for the two-volume set, it is a bit too pricey for the student, but certainly public and school libraries should have this great reference tool in their collections. The book is divided into four parts: an introduction and overview, a series of career and internship preparation essays, the directory of internship opportunities, and further resources. The book's strength is in the detailed information it provides on more than 550 well-established internship and summer job programs in 16 broad career fields, ranging from arts and business, to health and sports, and to media and science. While the internships are organized by these major fields, readers can also take advantage of indices that break down the list of internships by application deadline, salary amount, education level, state, and country. Each internship listing provides the reader with a wealth of information, including key contact information for each organization (typically mailing address, phone and fax numbers, and Web address), earning potential (including any salaries, stipends, living expenses, college credit potential, and any other perks), application deadline, necessary educational experience, specific skills requirements (which are of great use for tailoring one's application), and detailed instructions on how to apply.

This special issue of the journal focuses on the unique needs and issues that pertain to boomers. Creating personal significance for the later years of life is necessary not only for the individual but for society as a whole. During the last century, individual life expectancy has increased more than 30 years, from age 47 to age 78 (National Vital Statistics Reports), and will continue to increase. Not only has life expectancy increased for individuals, the population in the United States has aged as well. Simply put, not only are we living longer, there will be significantly more of us over the age of 65. With the increase in life expectancy and the projected continuing increase in the number of older adults, it is important to examine how individuals can optimize the quality of their lives as they grow older. As a motto of the Geriatric Society of America suggests, the issue is \"adding life to years, not just more years to life.\" In our youth-obsessed culture, the boomer population has an opportunity to \"redefine\" aging and replace traditional stereotypes, making it possible to create a next phase of life full of joy, dignity, and a sense of contribution and self worth. Professionals working with members of the boomer population can help them to create a next stage that not only will be professionally fulfilling, but will contribute to the larger population as well. The authors of this special issue present ways we can help boomers as they create their futures and chart new territory for aging, thus enhancing life for us all! Mary and Ken Gergen, editors of The Positive Aging Newsletter, provide an excellent introduction and framework for this special issue of the journal. The Gergens propose that \"aging is not so much a state of nature as it is a state of social meaning.\" Because we define what aging means through our conversations and the questions we ask, it is important to explore The Prophetic Power of Positive Questions. This is a crucial \"first step\" in creating the next stage of life for boomers. Dick Goldberg, Director of Coming of Age, a Philadelphia initiative to promote civic engagement and lifelong learning for people age 50 and older, explores how boomers are constructing new definitions for aging and concludes, For the New Old, Old is Good! In Activity and Brain Health, Paul D. Nussbaum introduces the concept of brain health and discusses activities that can promote it. Through meaningful engagement with others and purposeful exposure to complex and novel stimuli, we can reduce the risk of dementia and increase the possibilities for brain health.

{"title":"THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WORKING: A New Perspective for Career Development","authors":"D. Blustein, N. Gill, Alexandra C. Kenna, Kerri A. Murphy","doi":"10.4324/9780203935477","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203935477","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In this article, we present the psychology of working as a new, inclusive, and potentially, a socially just perspective for career development theory, research, practice, and public policy. The psychology of work perspective seeks to include everyone who works, not just those with access to choice and volition. We describe how working functions to fulfill three basic human needs: the need for survival and power, the need for connectedness, and the need for self-determination. Finally, a number of public policy implications from the psychology of working perspective are discussed in relation to training and skill building, mental health issues, unemployment, and poverty. This article presents a new perspective, the psychology of working (Blustein, 2001, 2006), for career development that seeks to expand the purview of career development in research, theory development, counseling practice, and public policy. The conceptual framework and objectives of the psychology of working are constructed around a number of interrelated assumptions that fit well with the focus of this special issue of Career Planning and Adult Development Journal. The overarching goal of the psychology of working is to create a way of thinking about work and career development that includes everyone who works or who wants to work, not just those with access to choice and volition about their educational and career options. One of the core assumptions of the psychology of working is that work is a central activity in human life that is fundamental to the survival of human beings (Blustein, 2001, 2006). Another key assumption is that working intersects naturally with the diverse roles that people occupy in their social and economic lives. In addition, working is critical for psychological health and for the vigor and structure of our communities (Blustein, 2006; Wilson, 1996). As career practitioners and scholars have aptly observed (e.g., Betz & Fitzgerald, 1987; Helms & Cook, 1999), access to the resources needed to construct a meaningful and satisfying working life is regrettably not equal. As such, the psychology of working is an explicitly contextualized discourse that seeks to delineate the impact of sexism, racism, heterosexism, classism, and disabling conditions in relation to the full range of working experiences. The psychology of working has emerged logically from existing critiques of contemporary vocational psychology and career development (e.g., Betz & Fitzgerald, 1987; Carter & Cook, 1992; Helms & Cook, 1999; Richardson, 1993). While mainstream career development theory and practice has focused on the needs of individuals who have access to education and work that match their goals, interests, and values, the vast majority of people around the globe have not had such privileged lives. Building on the contributions of scholars who have explored the impact of social class (e.g., Fouad & Brown, 2000), race (e.g., Helms & Cook, 1999), gender (e.g., Betz & Fit","PeriodicalId":307782,"journal":{"name":"The Career Planning and Adult Development Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128987725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
