Description
Work-Related Learning and the Social Sciences provides a clear introduction to the theory and practice of work. It explores key issues such as socialisation at work, conflict, control, employability skills, and community through real-world examples.
The book draws on the experiences of various professionals, including teachers, social workers, police officers, civil servants, and those in low-skilled work, to illustrate these concepts. A student voice is also present throughout, reflecting on their own experiences and how they relate to the key issues covered.
Written for students studying the social sciences, this book helps them appreciate the sociology and politics of work and develop an understanding of their skills and employability. It's a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their prospects in graduate-level employment.
