Etude de la gestion des carrières en contexte transfrontalier : le cas du Rhin supérieur
2020
Today, career management in human resources is becoming more international (Chanlat, 2007; Davoine and Ravasi, 2013a; Davoine et al, 2015) for several organizations. It is now a question of enabling their employees to gain international experience. Nevertheless, it turns out that some workers experience international mobility on a daily basis, on a personal basis and not as a result of organizational will, since they cross the border every day to go to work. These are cross-border workers, who are therefore neither expatriates nor international commuters.However, there is little literature in management sciences on these workers and the trinational context in which they operate, particularl…
L’Higher education in trasformazione: tra il potenziamento dell’employability e stakeholder view
2021
The higher education evolution passes through the enhancement of employability. It is necessary to focus on the construction of professional skills on the one hand, and on the other to create a bridge with the work field. An exploratory survey was conducted with stakeholders for the internship of the SPPEfF Department of the University of Palermo in the A.Y. 2019/2020 with the aim of: identifying the skills valued in working contexts in order to modify the study plans of the departmental courses for the A.Y. 2020/2021
Do We should Care about Future Participation of Students in the Labour Market?
2014
Abstract The communication presents a theoretical reflection based on the fact that as educational level advances, the unemployment rate decreases. Based on this, we set out what should be the place employability should occupy in higher education. We found that the labour market demands professionals with skills related to creative imagination and innovation capabilities; and these are developed through an education that nurtures students’ curiosity and also linked to the vital concerns of learners. We need to rethink and reflect on the role teachers should play, besides mastering the theoretical knowledge of the disciplines they teach, teachers should become designers and developers of lea…
Business Cooperation - Improving The Working Life Relevance of Higher Education
2021
Education programmes should provide students with the skills for working life. This is important not only for students, but also for companies. Skills refers, in addition to competence in a specific area, to general competencies, working life practices in common use and, for example, knowledge of software used in the business world. It is even more important to take into account the needs of working life when teaching adult students, who often study alongside work with the aim of progressing in their careers. In spring 2019, Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius conducted a survey targeting information and communication technology (ICT) companies in its local area. The results highlighted…
Linked(In)g sport management education with the sport industry: A preliminary study
2021
Social media are one of the most valuable management tools used by sport managers in the fulfilment of their daily tasks. However, the studies that share and analyse the impact of educational experiences that incorporate social media into sport management education for professional purposes are scarce to date. Thus, this study presents an educational innovation piloted in a sport management course where LinkedIn—the social media most associated with the professional sphere—is introduced through an experiential learning methodology, as a driver of students’ career development and as a tool to keep up to date and interact with the sport industry. To assess the learning outcomes, a new scale w…
The EU-Eastern Partnership Countries: Association Agreements and Transdisciplinarity in Studies, Training and Research
2014
Abstract The European Union (EU) signed Association Agreements on 27 June 2014 with Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Ukraine. The Association Agreement (AA) is the EU’s main instrument to bring the countries in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) closer to EU standards and norms. For the citizens of the EaP countries to benefit from these agreements, a more in-depth knowledge of the EU and the EU Member States is required to be reflected in a comparative approach to European Union studies. We examine these implications on the need to expand and adapt, the content and approach to research and teaching European Union studies, with the transdisciplinary approach becoming increasingly dominant, …

Women’s Job Search Competence: A Question of Motivation, Behavior, or Gender
2018
We examined motivation and behaviors in women's active job search in Spain and the gender gap in this process. The current crisis in Spain and the increase in the number of unemployed people have revealed new inequalities that particularly affect women's employability, especially the most vulnerable women. This paper addresses two exploratory studies: the first study analyzes gender differences in the active job search using a sample of 236 Spanish participants; the second study explores the heterogeneity and diversity of unemployed women in a sample of 235 Spanish women. To analyze the active job search, the respondents were invited to write open-ended responses to questions about their jo…
Transforming adult education from neo-liberal to holistically inclusive adult education in Baltic States
2021
In this chapter, we explore the data of nation-wide adult education programmes in three Baltic states. These programmes incorporate informal learning elements from the perspective of active participatory citizenship (APC) and, therefore, this provision aims to enhance opportunities for young adults in vulnerable positions. We posit that the concept of active participatory citizenship (EduMAP Concept Note 2017) that aims at developing young adults’ politico-legal, socio-cultural and socio-economic proactiveness could be used for illustrating these educational programmes from the holistic education aspects (Jarvis and Parker 2005). Holistic approach to adult education (AE) denotes that knowle…
Le développement des compétences transversales en vue de favoriser l'employabilité transfrontalière : le rôle de la mobilité internationale
2018
International audience; Cette contribution a pour objectif d’identifier les compétences transversales et interculturelles que des étudiants en gestion, santé et ingénierie d’une institution de formation supérieure suisse romande développent dans le cadre de leur expérience de mobilité internationale et d’examiner dans quelle mesure ces compétences particulières favorisent l’insertion sur le marché du travail. S’appuyant sur des méthodes mixtes (qualitatives et quantitatives), l’étude exploratoire exposée démontre que si le séjour à l’étranger demeure un moyen efficace pour affermir d’autres compétences que celles purement techniques ou académiques, sa valorisation au moment de la recherche …
