Great Resignation aux États-Unis, difficultés de recrutement accentuées en France ou encore, quiet quitting et protestations à l'égard du grand capital dans les grandes écoles (e.g., HEC Paris, AgroParisTech) : autant de phénomènes qui pointent vers un ras-le-bol de la part des salariés, tout particulièrement auprès des jeunes générations. De fait, de nombreux médias se font le relai d'une « quête de sens » au travail, qui se traduirait notamment par de nouvelles exigences à l'égard de l'employeur (surtout en matière d'engagement environnemental et sociétal), et par la recherche d'un meilleur équilibre vie pro-vie perso. La littérature faisant état de différences marquées liées à l'appartenance sociale et au niveau d'éducation, ce Doc propose d'apporter une première pièce au puzzle, en se focalisant sur les attentes des jeunes issus des CSP supérieures. Il repose sur un matériau empirique original, qui croise les regards de 20 alumni issus respectivement de l'École polytechnique et de l'université de Harvard pour mieux identifier ce qui fait la singularité ou non des diplômés de grandes écoles dans leur rapport au travail. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chefs d'entreprises, décideurs publics et chercheurs désireux de mieux comprendre le rapport qu'entretiennent les jeunes générations à l'égard du travail.

University graduates face a multitude of challenges after graduation – including sustainability-related requirements in professional practice. But what should sustainability competence enable them to do in professional practice? What is the role of higher education institutions in the provision of sustainability-related study programmes? Corinne Ruesch Schweizer explores these questions, which are mostly discussed in normative terms, in a qualitative-empirical study and thus not only provides a sound basis for curricular decisions and reflections in higher education for sustainable development, but also makes a long-demanded specification of the concept of sustainability competence. Wozu soll Nachhaltigkeitskompetenz Hochschulabgänger*innen in ihrer beruflichen Praxis befähigen? Corinne Ruesch Schweizer geht dieser bisher zumeist normativ diskutierten Frage mit einer qualitativ-empirischen Studie nach. Über Situationsschilderungen der von ihr befragten Praxisexpert*innen arbeitet sie typische nachhaltigkeitsbezogene Anforderungen beschäftigungspraktischer Situationen heraus. Damit liefert sie nicht nur eine empirisch-fundierte Entscheidungs- und Reflexionsgrundlage für die curriculare Gestaltung von Studienangeboten im Kontext der Hochschulbildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung, sondern zeigt auch die Relevanz des organisationalen Handlungskontextes für die Präzisierung der Nachhaltigkeitskompetenz auf.

"A persuasive case for building career success through broad education, targeted skills, and social capital Young people coming out of high school today can expect to hold many jobs over the course of their lives, which is why they need a range of essential skills. The Career Arts provides a corrective to the widespread and misleading notion that there is a direct trade-off between going to college and acquiring practical job skills. Ben Wildavsky cuts through the noise and anxiety surrounding this issue to offer sensible, clear-eyed guidance for anyone who is making decisions about education and career preparation with a view to getting ahead in the workforce.Drawing on evidence-based research, illuminating case studies, and in-depth interviews, Wildavsky shares the most vital lessons of what he calls the career arts, which include cultivating a mix of broad and targeted skills, taking advantage of employer-funded education benefits, and preparing for the world as it is, not as you wish it could be. He explains why college remains the gold standard of credentials, and presents the most promising high-quality supplements and alternatives to college that can help learners combine general and job-specific skills. He shows how building social capital is also critical to success, particularly for disadvantaged students.An invaluable guidebook for students, parents, counselors, and educators, The Career Arts reveals why college education and job preparation are not either-or propositions and identifies the blend of education and networking needed to support real-world career aspirations"-- "Young people coming out of high school today can expect to hold many jobs over the course of their lives, which is why they need a range of essential skills.
