"EVOLVING CAREER PATHS AND JOURNEYS"
Fall 2024
Gone are the days of linear career paths and long-term employment with a single employer or even within a single industry. The term career path seems increasingly outdated. It’s getting harder to describe a “typical” career trajectory. Navigating new trends and ongoing changes will require adaptability and insight. This issue provides thoughtful resources you can use to help today’s job seekers and employees embrace the changes and identify strategies for success.
