D’une carrière militaire à un emploi civil : guide de l’intervenant en développement de carrière

Reading through this Career Practitioner’s Guide on Military to Civilian Employment gives me great comfort that the education and research community is moving to mobilize precious resources to better understand the men and women who have dedicated their youth to serve our great nation. I salute all the artisans behind this superb initiative.”

Described as a ‘playbook,’ it’s more like a workbook that explains the key concepts, gives examples of their application, facilitates the reader to examine how to apply them to their particular organization, and reflect and advance. It progresses from awareness raising to action, from piloting to practice, and from creating internal momentum to creating lasting impact. The guide is well written, well presented, easy to follow, has excellent graphics, has a very useful glossary and set of tools in the appendices including a summary of key questions based on each chapter to enhance the learning and development process.

While the establishment and organization of internal careers centres will depend on company size and resources, the principles presented and the tools provided in this practical publication should be of interest and pertinence to any forward-thinking employer, regardless of company size and resources.
