Abstract

This review examines Mapping the Future of Undergraduate Career Education: Equitable Career Learning, Development, and Preparation in the New World of Work, which was edited by Melanie Buford, Michael Sharp, and Michael Stebleton. It provides an informative overview of the current practice of and key theoretical understandings of career education in postsecondary. The 20 authors over 17 chapters provide a wide range of concepts around the changes to work and generational cohorts, the role of career education in equity diversity and inclusion, innovative practices currently being used across the field, and how experiential learning integrates into and supports career education. The review provides an overview of the key points of the text and recomends that it be used not only as a graduate studies text, but also as a reference for those in roles that support the career education of students.
