The Handbook of Career and Workforce Development

The Handbook of Career and Workforce Development provides educators, researchers, and policy makers with information on evidence-based programs and activities. Chapters describe ways that current research can be used to promote the design of more effective career development programs and services at local, state, and national levels. Promising career development practices applicable to a range of settings and special populations are identified, as are strategies for communicating evidence in ways that influence career and workforce development public policy. The Handbook of Career and Workforce Development can be used by policy makers and grant program officers to identify key career development ingredients that should be considered in proposals; researchers seeking to make their career development research relevant and practical; and practitioners implementing or advocating for career development programs and services.

V. Scott H. Solberg, PhD, is a professor of counseling and applied human development in the School of Education at Boston University.

Saba Rasheed Ali, PhD, is a professor of counseling psychology in the Department of Psychological and Quantitative Foundations in the College of Education at the University of Iowa.

State policy makers have taken note of the importance of career and workforce development to the national, state, and local economies, and all fifty states are working on improving career and workforce development policies and practices. The authors in The Handbook of Career and Workforce Development provide policy makers, researchers, and practitioners with valuable information concerning promising practices that can be implemented at all levels of education and workforce preparation.

Terry Holliday, PhD, senior advisor for Council of
Chief State School Officers

This handbook is an invaluable guide to those involved in the burgeoning movement to make career development a central focus of our education and workforce development systems. Remarkably comprehensive, the handbook discusses how career development can help a huge range of populations realize their potential, including students from elementary school through college, as well as unemployed adults and those with disabilities.

William C. Symonds, director of the Global Pathways Institute at
Arizona State University and primary author of the 2011
Harvard report Pathways to Prosperity

This handbook provides a timely examination of evidence-based and emerging practices in career development. It also considers career development strategies within the broader context of education and support services that prepare skilled, adaptable and informed individuals from diverse backgrounds who can navigate career pathways over their lifetimes.

The Economic Rationale for Investing in Career Development

Access to quality career and workforce development programs and services that leverage higher postsecondary completion rates and wage earnings is considered a key pillar for establishing and maintaining economic competitiveness (World Economic Forum, 2014). This is due to the fact that in knowledge-based economies, such as the United States, a large number of citizens are needed who possess and continuously upgrade their skills to keep up with increasingly complex job requirements. As employment settings and career opportunities change, continued access to training, professional development, and education offers an efficient method to enable the workforce population to adapt to changing job expectations and/or to take advantage of emerging career and occupational opportunities (Sala-I-Martin et al., 2014). Indicators of vibrant workforce development include rates of enrollment in secondary and postsecondary institutions as well as perceptions among leaders in the employment sector that these education systems are producing the requisite workforce and employability skills necessary to sustain high demand employment sectors (Sala-I-Martin et al., 2004).
