Considerations of Career Education in Postsecondary Education. Monographs on Career Education.

Overview & Synopsis

The four papers compiled here deal with career education at the postsecondary education level. The first paper on career education and liberal arts in higher education discusses the goals of career education and higher education, liberal arts as a preparation for work, and career education as one change alternative currently available to higher education. The next paper identifies a number of paradoxes facing the implementation of career education in higher education and then discusses the issue in terms of the students, administration, staff, and faculty. The third paper on career education at the community college level discusses career education as a strategy for change in the community college, particularly in liberal arts and occupational education. The last paper presents strategies for marketing cooperative and work experience education and then discusses the benefits accruing from the collaboration of cooperative, work experience, and career education at the secondary and postsecondary levels.
