Description
Career Development For National Growth: Lessons from Australia for Jamaica’s Future examines a defining national question: how can Jamaica prepare its people for the future of work?
Denise N. Fyffe explores Jamaica’s education and career-development landscape alongside international practice, particularly Australia’s coordinated approach to lifelong career development. Through comparative analysis and a call to national action, the book considers the systems, structures, and strategies that help nations guide people from potential to purpose.
The book examines:
- Where Jamaica’s current systems excel and where gaps remain
- How guidance, training, and workforce development can support national growth
- Lessons Jamaica can adapt from Australia’s career-development ecosystem
- Why labour-market information, pathways, and partnerships matter
- How policy, leadership, and community engagement can reshape the future of work
More than a policy text, this is a practical roadmap for educators, counsellors, policymakers, employers, and anyone committed to building a stronger Jamaica through investment in people.
