Sukarieh, Mayssoun; Tannock, Stuart – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2017

Claire Lauer; Eva Brumberger – College Composition and Communication, 2019
In this article we argue that mobile, design, content, and social media technologies have fundamentally redefined the role of the writer in the workplace.

Fidan, Tuncer, Ed. – IGI Global, 2019
Over the years, careers have transformed to be flexible and changing rather than stable, life-long commitments to an organization. As such, making work meaningful, controlling the work environment, and taking the opportunity to get required training for the next job are as important as the financial advantages. Educators' careers cannot be…

Bolotin, I. S.; Basalai, S. I.; Pugach, V. F.; Mikhailov, A. A. – Russian Education and Society, 2013
The weak connection between Russia's system of higher education and the labor market in Russia requires that greater attention be paid to preparing students for successful, employment. This will require more careful research into best practices, and the development of more effective links between employers and educational institutions.
