PHOENIX – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Sept. September 2021–
The University of Phoenix has published a whitepaper of insights from its College of Doctoral Studies team, titled Career Pathways: Engineering Your Career to Last Decades. The whitepaper explores the genesis of the career path concept and creates a blueprint for building a lifelong career by combining personal passion with the pursuit of academic qualifications and professional development in the workplace. It also provides insight into the ways American workers can take the steps necessary to advance their careers.
“There is a growing demand for workers who can fill skilled occupations in high-growth, high-demand industries such as healthcare, business or cybersecurity. Unfortunately, many Americans don’t know how or where to get the education, training, and experience to advance such a career, ”said Dr. Mark Vitale, MBA, Ph.D., University of Phoenix Campus and Academic Director.
Changing jobs over the course of your career has become the norm. According to a survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, baby boomers had an average of 12.3 jobs between the ages of 18 and 52. In addition, two-thirds of millennials expect more effective and broader career development opportunities than previous generations.
Career paths help workers overcome barriers to advancement, including education and certification, the rapid growth of breakthrough technology over the past decade, and the balance between advancement and the demands of work and life as many working adults seek advancement while maintaining their current employment and start a family at the same time.
“A career path, like any other construct, depends on its user to be used effectively,” added Vitale. “Employees can learn, network, remain flexible, keep their needs in focus and move in the truest sense of the word, achieve professional development and advancement.”
