School-to-work (STW) pathways and transitions are key developmental processes in young adulthood. During this time, young adults face multiple choices and challenges. Young Adult Development at the School-to-Work Transition describes pathways for students to successfully transition to the work environment. The book examines social, economic, cultural, familial, contextual, and personal factors that shape the processes involved in the school-to-work transition. Internationally renowned scholars in the fields of developmental psychology, applied psychology, counseling, and sociology have contributed chapters focusing on theory, research, and application related to school-to-work and educational transitions. The book also gives attention to groups who have particular transition needs, including young adults with disabilities and special needs, cultural minorities, international students, and migrants.
