Title overview

Appropriate for courses in Career Development/Transition and is intended for nontraditional students (career changers and late starters).

This brief, focused text is the perfect tool for a career and life planning course or workshop for adult students preparing for and undergoing career change. The author's unique “On Target” model allows readers to work through a personalized process of self- assessment and career exploration, sorting and matching personal information with career options. This book takes into account the special “survival issues” of many returning students, recognizing that self-efficacy must precede growth and new direction.
