• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

"In an increasingly complex world, the false dichotomy of working and learning is becoming more apparent. Nieves, Anderson and Huntting expertly demonstrate that this new world will require a greater emphasis on equity and increasing opportunities that expand learning and working for all. The ultimate success of today's young learner-workers will indelibly impact their life outcomes-and our shared well-being."

- Jamie Merisotis, President & CEO, Lumina Foundation, USA

In this book, we witness the transformative power of work-integrated education in unlocking doors of opportunity for young people. This book serves as a roadmap for policymakers and practitioners, illuminating pathways to dismantle systemic barriers and cultivate inclusive environments where every young person can realize their potential."

- Maria Flynn, President & CEO, Jobs for the Future, USA

"The chapter on Native Hawaiians is relevant and captures the essence of the contemporary Hawaiian as they deal with historical trauma but strives to survive and excel in service to their community and family in their homeland - Hawai¿i."

- Lui Hokoana, Chancellor and CEO, University of Hawai¿i Maui College, USA

This book builds on the success of "Working to Learn" (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020) by focusing on the future of work and how young people, especially low-income young people and young people of color, are pursuing college and career goals through work-based learning experiences, yet encountering an increasingly racially and socioeconomically stratified labor market and educational system. Through policy analysis and case studies both from US and abroad, the authors will present the argument for why these models warrant revisitation, innovation, and investment, and elevate profiles of young workers, nonprofits, corporate partners, and governments today who are using work opportunities to open doors once closed.
