More than half of 9th graders in the United States will never complete a college degree. High schools must do more than prepare some students for college: They must prepare all American youth for productive lives as well as continued learning beyond high school. In this timely volume, two educational leaders advocate for a more meaningful high school experience. To accomplish this, the authors argue that we need to change the focus of our current high school reform efforts from "college for all" to "careers for all." This work shows how schools can prepare young people both for the emerging workplace and postsecondary education.

Every year thousands of young people become lost in the career maze and swamped in information overload. This results in career choices made for the wrong reasons, poor choices of training or study, and high rates of dropping out, failure and confusion at the time when young people should be inspired and motivated about the future. Young people need to develop the self-knowledge that guides them to the right career path. Research shows that it is parents, and not educators, who are the primary influence on children's career decisions and are best placed to give them help. This book is for the parents. In The Career Maze Heather Carpenter presents facts drawn from years of experience as a careers counsellor. She suggests simple conversational tools that will help parents foster self-knowledge, self-belief and confidence in their child's qualities that instil motivation and commitment at the time they are needed most.

The book is not primarily a do-it-yourself career manual, but nevertheless contains much that will assist people to manage their own careers better.
