Abstract

Future-oriented education needs to invest in the connectivity between learning and working in order to realise its full potential. This book presents guiding principles on how to build these successful connections. By taking an educational perspective and enriching it with insights from human resource development, this book explores the why, how and what of designing for connectivity.This edited volume presents the current knowledge about educational practices and principles that help to realise connectivity between learning and working experiences. Introducing the central perspectives of workplace learning and learning environments at the boundary of school and work, this book presents key research that examines how educators and professionals from organisations and schools can come together with the purpose of realising connectivity in educational programmes. Empirical research showcasing both theoretical and practical insights from real life cases are at the heart of this book. Considering the barriers to achieving connectivity, this book also focuses on how it can be achieved, with ideas and guidance about communication, design principles and best practices. Using carefully chosen international examples, this book is ideal reading for policy makers, practitioners and researchers looking to learn more about connecting learning and working experiences.

Abstract

Forme spécifique d'acquisition de compétence, l'alternance est souvent parée de nombreuses vertus, point de vue dont on peut comprendre les raisons en s'appuyant sur les travaux de la psychologie cognitive. Après avoir mis en exergue l'intérêt du principe de l'alternance, cet ouvrage s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l'alternance sous contrat de travail qui s'incarne dans divers dispositifs : les contrats d'apprentissage, de qualification, d'adaptation et d'orientation.Si l'alternance est un principe pédagogique attrayant et légitime, on constate toutefois un certain décalage entre l'idéal et la réalité de l'alternance : dans une large mesure, l'alternance ne permet pas l'accès à des emplois stables aux jeunes les plus défavorisés. Ceci amène inévitablement à la question : l'entreprise peut-elle satisfaire aux exigences de l'alternance et transmettre les compétences transférables permettant une insertion durable dans l'emploi ?Pour répondre à cette question, Alexandre Léné propose une analyse détaillée des contraintes auxquelles doivent faire face les entreprises dans la production de savoirs. Il examine en particulier les effets de la concurrence pour la main-d'œuvre qualifiée sur le marché du travail.Par ailleurs, il montre que l'alternance est un modèle en pleine mutation. Les transformations des organisations productives se traduisent par de nouvelles exigences en matière de compétences et modifient les conditions de fonctionnement des systèmes de formation en alternance. Cet ouvrage fait le point sur les évolutions actuelles des dispositifs français et allemands de formation. Il présente un certain nombre d'expériences innovantes qui dessinent les contours d'une «nouvelle» alternance.Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qu'intéressent les problèmes de formation, d'emploi et d'insertion.

Abstract

Work-Integrated Learning in the 21st century: Global perspectives on the future, explores new questions about the state of work for new university and college graduates in the context of Work-Integrated Learning (WIL). As these 'Millennials' graduate, they are entering a precarious labour market that is filled with ambiguity and uncertainty, creating a great deal of anxiety for those trying to develop skills for highly competitive jobs or jobs that do not yet exist. In their pursuit of skill acquisition, many are participating in WIL programs (e.g., cooperative education, internships) which allow them to gain practical experience while pursuing their education. With a focus on WIL, this book examines issues involved in developing work ready graduates. Topics include mental health and well-being - an urgent matter on many campuses; remote working - an aspect of the information and social media age that is becoming more prevalent as the precarity of work increases; issues of diversity and discrimination; ethics and professionalism; global citizenship and competency; and the role that higher education institutions need to play to prepare students for the challenges of economic shifts. These topics are timely and relevant to the situations faced by new graduates and those who prepare them for the world beyond school. The chapters provide a close examination of the issues from a global perspective, particularly as experiential education and work-integrated learning programs are becoming more prevalent in higher education and viewed as essential for preparing millennials for the 21st century competitive labour market.

Abstract

"This groundbreaking book examines the growing phenomenon of internships and the policy issues they raise, during a time when internships or traineeships have become an important way of transitioning from education into paid work. Featuring contributions from established and emerging scholars in a range of disciplines, the book presents important new research on the use, benefits and regulation of such arrangements. It considers how various countries around the world are meeting the challenge of ensuring decent work for interns, and what more needs to be done to realise that objective. Additionally, the case for new forms of regulation to minimise or prevent the exploitation of interns is explored, against the background of a possible new international labour standard. Presenting new data and analysis on whether internships can - and to what extent do - provide an effective bridge from education to employment, Internships, Employability and the Search for Decent Work Experience will be a key resource for policy-makers and academics in labour law, industrial relations, labour economics, human resource management and education"--

Abstract

Saudi Arabia is witnessing unprecedented progress in the field of higher education. Even though the country opened its first university in 1957, so far there seems to be little English scholarly writing about Saudi education in general and higher education in particular. The current expansion of Saudi Arabia’s higher-education system has put a spotlight on this serious gap in the international literature. This book helps to fill this lacuna through the work of 16 scholars who have contributed to the development of the Saudi education system. In so doing, the book reveals areas where more research is required and thus provides a useful starting point for education scholars. This anthology is unique in that it is the first to offer a comprehensive perspective on the current knowledge base pertaining to Saudi higher education as well as to the ongoing efforts to introduce reforms.
