SUMMARY:The Role of Internship Participation and Conscientiousness in Developing Career Adaptability: A Five-Wave Growth Mixture Model Analysis
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 5\, 2020\n3pm CST \nSpecial Guest: Carmella Ocampo (Australian National University)\nIn this webinar\, CCWT’s Zi Chen spoke with Carmella Ocampo\, the lead author of a new study on the impacts of internship participation on a widely studied psycho-social variable in vocational psychology—that of career adaptability—which refers to the psychological resources one has to deal with uncertain and evolving situations. Since our current moment of the COVID-19 pandemic and a looming recession will create such an uncertain and difficult situation for college graduates\, understanding the experiences and resources that can help students develop these resources will be critically important. \nCarmella Ocampo is a PhD Candidate in Organizational Behavior in the Research School of Management at the Australian National University. At the broad level\, Carell studies how personality traits\, emotional abilities\, and social contexts support or stifle individual goal pursuit efforts in the context of work and careers. \nWatch a recording of this webinar\nTranscript

SUMMARY:Internships and Vocational Skills Training in China with Jenny Chan
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 4\, 2019 • 9:30am\nThe Wisconsin Idea room (Education Building #159) \nChina has the world’s largest vocational education system. The number of vocational high school students (aged 16-18)\, however\, dropped from a peak of 22.4 million in 2010 to 15.5 million in 2018\, that is\, about 40% of the national student population. By contrast\, the number of high school students remained fairly stable over the same period\, hovering at around 24 million. This project seeks to understand the internship experiences of Chinese teenage students. Under the existing system\, a 6-month workplace-based internship training is mandatory for three-year vocational education program. The legal status of interns remains that of students\, not employees. The educational and labor rights of interns are worthy of scholarly attention. \nJenny Chan (Ph.D. 2014) is an assistant professor of sociology at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a recipient of Early Career Scheme funding awarded by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong (2018-2022). She also serves as the vice president of the International Sociological Association’s Research Committee on Labor Movements (2018-2022). Dying for an iPhone: Apple\, Foxconn and the Lives of China’s Workers is her first co-authored book with Mark Selden and Pun Ngai (Haymarket Books & Pluto Press\, forthcoming in 2020). \nSeminar flyer (PDF) \nVideo

SUMMARY:Crafting and Marketing Student Experience with Bonnie Urciouli
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 16\, 2019 • 10am\nThe Wisconsin Idea room (Education Building #159) \nInformal Meeting for Students\n1:30-2:30pm • 5230 Social Science Building • Open to all graduate and undergraduate students \nCollege and university programs that craft student experience have become a major selling point\, representing an intersection of student life administration and higher education marketing. For example\, “First Year Experience” programs craft student life in ways designed to fit students into the most productive aspects of college life\, optimizing the production of an ideal student. That production\, understood in terms of measurable outcomes\, becomes a major marketing angle for parents worried about their child’s future. Neither perspective takes into account structural inequities shaping student experience\, with consequences for at-risk students. Nor do they take seriously the role of faculty\, who are neither problem solvers nor career developers. \nBonnie Urciuoli is professor emerita of anthropology at Hamilton College. She has written on race/class ideologies of Spanish–English bilingualism in the U.S.\, the discursive production and marketing of ‘skills\,’ and the construction and marketing of studenthood and student diversity in U.S. higher education. She has published the monograph Exposing Prejudice and the edited volume The Experience of Neoliberal Education\, as well as articles in American Ethnologist\, Language and Communication\, Journal of Linguistic Anthropology\, Signs and Society\, HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory\, Annual Review of Anthropology\, and elsewhere. Flyer. \nVideo

SUMMARY:Participatory Action Research as a Grassroots Challenge to Policy and Practice in Schools and Universities
DESCRIPTION:with NYU Professor Dr. Gary Anderson\nMonday\, April 29\, 2019 • 10am\n159 Education Building (Wisconsin Idea Room) \nThe growing popularity of Participatory Action Research (PAR) can be attributed to its commitment to doing research with rather than on or for participants\, it’s potential to challenge policy and practice from the bottom up\, and its multiple goals of knowledge generation\, concrete action\, and\, critical pedagogy. \nThis presentation focused on the ways that PAR challenges the current dominance of New Public Management in Schools and Universities and the dominant epistemology of university research. \nSeminar flyer (PDF) \nVideo

SUMMARY:Managing Transitions from College to Work: The ‘Employability’ and Career Readiness Challenge
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Michael Tomlinson\nWednesday\, April 10\, 2019 • 12-1:30pm\nEd Sciences 259\, 1025 West Johnson Street \nDr. Michael Tomlinson provided a critical overview of the problem and construct of graduates’ employability\, charting its evolution and the ways in which it has been conceptually and politically applied in understanding macro-level changes between higher education (HE) systems and the labor market. The talk drew on evidence from the perspectives of students and graduates making the transitions from HE to formal employment\, examining the challenges for their career readiness and employment prospects. It explored salient issues relating to the resources\, career values\, and identities which graduates develop through and beyond HE. \nMichael Tomlinson is an Associate Professor at the Southampton Education School at the University of Southampton\, UK where he has been based since 2011. His research interests are in higher education policy\, the sociology of higher education and the HE-work relationship and has published widely in these fields. His previous books are Education\, Work and Identity (2013\, Bloomsbury Publishers) and Graduate Employability in Context (2017\, Palgrave Publishers). \nSeminar flyer (PDF) \nVideo

SUMMARY:The Increasing Underemployment and Decreasing Job Control of Highly Qualified Employees: Implications for Further Training and Workplace Change featuring David Livingstone
DESCRIPTION:April 20\, 2018\nCo-sponsored with the Office of Equity\, Sustainability and Democracy. \nHighly qualified professional employees are widely regarded as central strategic resources for “knowledge economies”. However\, there is mounting evidence that these “knowledge workers” are experiencing both increasing underemployment and decreasing job control\, as well as diminishing participation in both further education and job-related informal learning. Prospects for employment and educational reforms to reverse current trends will be assessed. \nD.W. Livingstone is Canada Research Chair in Lifelong Learning and Work and Professor Emeritus at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)\, University of Toronto.\nVideo
