Education and career choice : a new model of decision making

"Education and Career Choice" reports on a research project that offers a new perspective on post-sixteen transitions.

Using an approach that combines a synthesis of secondary data with the collection and analysis of narrative accounts, it describes how young people in the UK make choices at the end of their compulsory schooling.

It presents a dynamic model of decision-making that is unconstrained by currently fashionable theoretical concepts and provides a thorough critique of the current state of research in this area.
