Every year thousands of young people become lost in the career maze and swamped in information overload. This results in career choices made for the wrong reasons, poor choices of training or study, and high rates of dropping out, failure and confusion at the time when young people should be inspired and motivated about the future. Young people need to develop the self-knowledge that guides them to the right career path. Research shows that it is parents, and not educators, who are the primary influence on children's career decisions and are best placed to give them help. This book is for the parents. In The Career Maze Heather Carpenter presents facts drawn from years of experience as a careers counsellor. She suggests simple conversational tools that will help parents foster self-knowledge, self-belief and confidence in their child's qualities that instil motivation and commitment at the time they are needed most.

More than half of 9th graders in the United States will never complete a college degree. High schools must do more than prepare some students for college: They must prepare all American youth for productive lives as well as continued learning beyond high school. In this timely volume, two educational leaders advocate for a more meaningful high school experience. To accomplish this, the authors argue that we need to change the focus of our current high school reform efforts from "college for all" to "careers for all." This work shows how schools can prepare young people both for the emerging workplace and postsecondary education.

` John Arnold has written a book which will serve well any student or new practitioner in the area of career management, both in terms of explaining how thinking has developed, and in looking forward to the complexities of the future' - Career Path, Institute Personnel and Development `This book has two purposes for education leaders. It provides understanding of the world of pupils will be moving into. More urgently, because it is not yet sufficiently recognised, it provides a framework for us to consider what is happening to teachers’ careers now’ - School Leadership The book will appeal to several different audiences, particularly those taking human resource modules in MBA and other postgraduate management courses, undergraduates taking special modules in university business schools or psychology departments, and all practising human resource managers, particularly those concerned with career management and (in the UK) those taking the IPD option on career management. The book is not primarily a do-it-yourself career manual, but nevertheless contains much that will assist people to manage their own careers better.
