Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses growing reservations about the relevance of educational systems to the economic and social needs of individuals by examining different aspects of transitions from school to work or further studies within formal and informal settings in Asia. Highlighting important issues such as selectiveness and inclusiveness, integration of transversal competencies, vocationalisation of secondary schooling, approaches to career guidance and emerging models of student support, it is of particular interest to educators, policymakers and other stakeholders who are concerned about the effectiveness of system-wide and institutional-based approaches. The first part of the book explores different models, mechanisms and approaches to policy and practice in the context of Asia, while the second part examines Hong Kong students’ transitions to post-school life and provides an account of issues and challenges the government and individual schools experience in terms of structural support for both mainstream and special-needs students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Need to Get Somewhere Fast critically explores the transition from post-secondary education to work - it seeks to complexify the dominant view of the transition from post-secondary education to work as a linear, distinct event that can be assessed through primarily financial indicators. Complexifying our understanding of transition, as critical scholars/educators and critical practitioners, allows us to move beyond deficit-focused interventions and offers a more comprehensive understanding of how factors beyond the individual student constitute and constrain the transition experience. With a more complex understanding of transition, post-secondary educators, students, employers, and researchers can consider the pressures on students to "get somewhere fast" and support transition processes that involve complex and interrelated factors. Need to Get Somewhere Fast is grounded in the narratives of social service workers. Social service workers, practitioners who work with marginalized people in community-based, not-for-profit agencies, are a liminal group who face significant challenges, including tenuous work, vicarious trauma, and precarity. Their narratives of navigating the neoliberal institutions of school and work highlight power relations, idealized expectations, and the experience of transition as an ongoing process. Their narratives illustrate the importance of resistance, criticality, and exploring alternate discourses of what it means to successfully transition into a professional role. Need to Get Somewhere Fast puts more-than-human, relational, and performative ontologies to work to see what is possible, from a practical, ethical perspective, for educators and educational institutions. A unique and insightful perspective on the concept of transition from school to social service work. Filled with experiences and stories of social service workers, this book aims to guide individuals in viewing the transitional process as an ongoing, individualistic, and self-empowering one. Need to Get Somewhere Fast should captivate readers navigating their place in the demanding yet rewarding nature of social service work. - Simran Notra, Addictions Counsellor As someone who entered school with the goal to be seen as a professional and have my name on an office door; Meaghan Dougherty's book looks at how one actually defines success. The interviews she conducts show a common theme of feeling like you need a piece of paper to prove your worth within the field of social services. There is no one ideal of a social services worker and anyone getting in the field should read this book if you want to feel less alone as you transition from school to the working world. - Keshia Cleaver, BA Child and Youth Care

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uses a sample of 324 young adults in four Canadian urban centers who left high school in the mid-1980s, as well as interviews with their parents, former teachers, and employers, to identify factors that ease the transition from school to work. Looks at factors such as level of education, social class, gender, and motivation, with emphasis on the importance of cooperative education.

This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great deal of talk about a "transformation" taking place in post-secondary education, linked to changes in the nature of work, technology, and the challenge of financing education at a time of austerity. The New York based journalist, Thomas Friedman, for example, writing in the New York Times in January 2013, imagined a different future for colleges and universities:"I can see a day soon where you'll create your own college degree by taking the best online courses from the best professors from around the world -- some computing from Stanford,some entrepreneurship from Wharton, some ethics from Brandeis, some literature from Edinburgh -- paying only the nominal fee for the certificates of completion."It is through these market based mechanisms - the thinking goes - that colleges and universities will be transformed. He's still dreaming the world is flat, he can dream on.

Book excerpt: This research report represents the first phase of a multi-year collaborative research initiative of the Association of Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology of Ontario. The initiative is designed to develop a cohesive picture of the pathways from secondary school to college. The major purpose of this phase of the research was to identify secondary school students' perceptions of Ontario colleges and of college as a possible post-secondary educational destination for them, and to determine the factors that have shaped these perceptions. A second purpose was to identify secondary school student achievement patterns, graduation rates and course enrolments in order to consider their influence on current and future college enrolments. The main source of data for the study was a survey of 21,385 Grades 11, 12 and Year 5 students enrolled in 73 Ontario secondary schools. The schools were selected to represent Ontario college regions, school size and school type (i.e., Roman Catholic, public, and serving francophone students). In addition to the survey, the schools were asked to provide school calendars or course option sheets and course enrolments in order to assess the availability of college-destination courses and course sequences that lead to college. Sixty-one schools provided information for this analysis. Data from the "Double Cohort Study, Phase 3" (2004) and "Phase 4" (2005), were also examined in order to conduct a preliminary analysis of the characteristics of college applicants in terms of their secondary school courses taken and marks obtained. This study confirms that there is a need to provide a clear picture of the variety of programs available at the colleges and the economic and personal benefits associated with them, not only to interested students but also to all students, school guidance counsellors and the general public. Since few non-core college-preparation courses are offered in secondary schools, and very few students take college-preparation sequences of courses while there, it would be useful to review the viability and appropriateness of Grades 11 and 12 post-secondary destination programming as it applies to the colleges. College applicants' pattern of course selection and differential achievement while in secondary school ensures that enrollees in most college programs will have a diverse background in terms of secondary school courses and achievement in them. While this finding may not be news for those who teach in Ontario colleges, the factors that contribute to it, that are outlined in this study, may not be well known. It would be helpful to determine why the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) schools produce so few college registrants (in comparison with university registrants), and develop strategies to increase the flow of students from the GTA to colleges.
