Collection "Changes in Education and Training"
Contemporary educational and professional paths are marked by increasingly complex transitions, which in turn involve identity adjustments that can sometimes be difficult. Drawing on a variety of approaches and based 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 construction of individuals grappling with institutional and organizational structures that channel their actions. They thus open up avenues for reflection and action for training and supporting individuals in different types of transitions, whether these involve more or less voluntary career changes, entry into the labor market after vocational or higher education, entry into the teaching or training profession, or even career transitions resulting from migration.
This book is aimed at a wide readership interested in this topic and, more specifically, at researchers who analyze these processes and trainers who work with individuals involved in change dynamics.
