Career Development and Learning in the Workplace: A New Deal for A New EconomyIsmi Arif Ismail. Career may reflect individual’s perception of who they are (Collin & Young, 2000). Career development works towards the construction of self-identity. Current career development literatures suggest that in the `new economy’ and/or `knowledge economy’, career survival and growth will rely more on improvisation and persistent learning (Arthur et al, 1999). This `new learning’ involves reciprocal construction between the individuals’ proactive `learning at the workplace’ and what workplaces afford them (Billett, 2002). Informed by the biographical research tradition, this paper explored professors’ career development through their life events and experiences. The empirical and practical findings of the study may provide possible learning pathways for other academics in particular and others in general, in navigating their early, mid and late career stages.
