"Changes in Education and Training" Series
Contemporary educational and career paths are characterized by increasingly complex transitions, which, in turn, involve identity adjustments that can sometimes be arduous. Drawing on a variety of approaches and building on research conducted in Belgium, Canada, France, and Switzerland, the twelve chapters in this book offer insights into these paths and transitions. They pay particular attention to their effects on the identity formation of individuals grappling with institutional and organizational structures that shape their actions. They thus open up avenues for reflection and action regarding training and support for individuals undergoing various types of transitions—whether these involve more or less voluntary career changes, entry into the labor market following vocational or higher education, entry into the teaching or training profession, or even career transitions resulting from a migration experience.
This book is intended for a broad readership interested in this topic and, more specifically, for researchers analyzing these processes as well as for trainers working with individuals involved in processes of change
