Career DevelopmentBIG Picture

• Generalized Findings (Summarized a few points from University of Derby iCeGS

Occasional Paper, 2011 to spark our CD discussions. For specifics, please see document itself. )

• In a dynamic labor market, career paths cannot be accurately predicted during schooling. However, school does have a formative influence on young people’s understanding of themselves and the world of work.

• Schools are not the only influence on young people’s career exploration processes, but they can and do exert an influence on young people’s approach to career.

• Career development can help with Retention, Academic Achievement, Transitions, can positively influence Career/Life success.
