“…First, several studies have produced support for a link between completion of school and better employment opportunities over the life span (Brekke, 2014;Falch & Nyhus, 2011;Kim, 2013;E. Markussen, Frøseth, Sandberg, Lødding, & Borgen, 2011;Sletten & Hyggen, 2013 find that the school and other services will attempt to help them to return to and complete school.…”

“…It encapsulates the formation of career interest, career choice selection, and the enactment and persistence in occupational pursuit (Lent et al 1994). Hence, career trajectory, also known as a career path denotes the course and pattern of an individual's career progression overtime (not necessarily advancement) during their active professional life (Banks et al 1992;Kim 2013). In traditional organisations, employees follow organised career development path.…”

Work and Employment is a critical area that is undergoing major change influenced by the widespread connectivity and utilisation of the Internet and the rise of digital platforms. Crowdwork is an emerging new way of working that is witnessing exponential growth. It is surrounded by a fixed debate between opposite perspectives on its impact on workers. However, both perspectives adopt a static view that does not pay much attention to crowdworkers' progress in their job over time. In this study, we seek to advance this debate by adopting a dynamic view of crowdwork to explore the trajectory of workers over time based on their own accounts. Through rich qualitative data and inductive analysis, the study unravels that crowdworkers craft what could be conceptualised as a career development path. It identifies five stages in this career path and workers' efforts to mould their work demands and job-related resources to create a future for themselves. The discussion shows the fruitful insight that this approach brings to theory and practice. Limitations and future avenues for research are then discussed.

“…Ten of the young people were mainly working, mostly in service jobs they obtained through their families and families' social networks-commonly jobs that may be regarded as blind alleys with little advancement opportunities (Kim, 2013). Six young men and women had spent most of this period in adult education to acquire missing grades, and in some cases had taken shorter vocational training courses.…”

Departing from careership theory, this chapter aims to add to knowledge about school careers and school-to-work transitions of young people with a migrant background, here referring to individuals born outside or in Sweden whose parents are first-generation immigrants. 1 More specifically, we want to increase the understanding of the processes resulting in a school failure, and the subsequent process when the young person tries to enter the labour market and/or strengthen his/her educational qualifications. The analysis is based on life-history interviews with 27 Swedish young adults (21-23 years old), most of them from refugee families of non-European origins. All of the respondents left school without completing upper secondary education. Few previous studies have focused on both the school years ending in dropout and subsequent careers of early school leavers, as reported by the young adults themselves (for exceptions, see e.g. Henderson et al., 2007). As discussed in the following section, political discourses, official statistics and research often portray gloomy prospects for young early school leavers generally, and those of migrant origin particularly. However, our research provides more nuanced indications, as the young adults interviewed described not only difficulties in school How to cite this book chapter:
