“…Even for highly qualified workers, permanent full-time positions have been replaced in many organizations by contract positions, often short term and performance based . Outsourcing of tasks means that more employees work for small and medium-sized rather than large organizations and more people are self-employed (Watts, 1997). Within organizations, teamworking, multiskilling and continually changing technologies necessitate good communications skills, flexibility, and the ability to be a continuous learner Watts, 1997).…”

Career theorists emphasize the importance of the development of career maturity in adolescents if they are to successfully negotiate the school-to-work transition. Transitions of young deaf and hard of hearing people the transition may be especially problematic. The authors examine the implications of current labor market trends for young people, in particular for those with hearing loss, and review data on employment outcomes for deaf and hard of hearing people. They discuss the environmental and attitudinal barriers that can influence the career outcomes and advancement of this population, consider the impact of hearing loss on adolescents' career maturity, and review the studies on this topic in the literature. The article focuses on the experiences of students with significant hearing loss who are educated in regular classes with the support of itinerant teachers, who communicate orally, and who may be defined as hard of hearing. Recommendations for research and practice are provided.

“…One consequence of this is that the transition can be quite blurred. It is not simply a case of completing school today and starting employment tomorrow (Watts, 1996). So perhaps for some young people the nature of the transition, or even the timing of it, is less predictable than we have just suggested.…”

The transition into work - An editorial commentary

Different research perspectives on the transition into work are presented, and some trends and shortcomings are discussed. It is argued that an orientation toward transition as a crisis no longer seems appropriate for research. Rather, various contextual schemes embedding different courses of transition and the “gradualness” in a context of life-long learning actually characterise this period. The six articles of the special issue are commented upon with regard to the study of the transition into work domain. General conclusions are summarised into eight points, claiming for example that societal events and contextual structures are important factors, that psychological attributes measured individually appear to be relatively stable whereas configurations may change considerably, and that job satisfaction is only partially determined by dispositions. The conclusion also suggests moving away from a global perspective on transition as a change, toward a more micro-behaviourally focused dynamic approach.

“…One was to try and position career development as a major policy theme which was capable of engaging with the big policy concerns of government. In a series of papers (Watts, 1994;1996;1998) he made the argument that career guidance was a public good and that it should be central to the formation of public policy:…”

‘We wanted to change that particular part of the world’: The role of academics in the career development field, learning from the career of Tony Watts

This article uses a career case-study with Tony Watts to explore the interface of an academic career with policy and practice. It finds that, in Tony’s case, public engagement was driven by a social and political mission. Such engagement is shaped by both the institutional arrangements within which the academic is situated and the political and organisational structures of the part of the world into which they try to intervene. While it is difficult to generalise from a single case, the article concludes by suggesting some key themes which academics may wish to attend to in navigating these issues of engagement and the nature of academic roles.
