Connecting Students with People who Care(er): Post-Secondary Professionals as...BCcampus
Presentation by Candy Ho, Faculty, Educational Studies, Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Dr. Cindy Xin
Director of Research, Simon Fraser University
Increasingly students begin their post-secondary experience with a career in mind, and two recent studies (Environics Research Group, 2011; Ho, 2017) suggest that those paths are largely influenced by educators (e.g. Faculty) before a student even considers visiting a career centre. Consequently, these professionals have the inherent capacity to extend their care for students beyond their teaching roles: as Career Influencers, defined by the EdD study as individuals working in a higher education institution who informally provide career-related advice, guidance, and/or counselling to prospective and current students and/or alumni.
This session has two goals. It aims to help attendees recognize their influence in student career development, and consider how they can incorporate career development components into their teaching practice. Findings and implications from Ho’s (2017) EdD study will serve as a backdrop of the session (research questions are included at the end*), while attendees are guided through reflective and discussion activities that enhance the awareness of their influence in student career development.
Current planned activities include having the attendees:
-Reflect on their “constellation of life roles” (Magnusson, 2014) and how roles, events, and experiences contribute to their approach as educators
-Consider how their current activities and interactions with students (e.g., curriculum, office hours conversations) help students develop employability skills
-Discuss their impressions on the notion of the ‘Everyday Career Influencer’, pondering on questions such as:
How do they currently serve as Career Influencers and demonstrate a sense of care for student career development?
How might they further their practice as Career Influencers?
What opportunities and/or challenges do they face as Career Influencers within their institutions? What can they do to take advantage and/or overcome them?
-EdD study research questions and sub-questions:
How do post-secondary education professionals conceive their influence in student career development?
How do they conceptualize the term “career”?
How do they see their role as having an impact on student career development?
How do they see themselves as individuals as having an impact on student career development?
What resources and/or competencies do they believe are important in furthering their impact on student career development?

SESSION 2: DESIGN – Rethinking education and lifelong learning policies
Objective: Discuss how education and skills policies need to be redesigned to make the most of the digital transformation; discuss whether digitalisation is creating the need to adopt a lifelong learning approach to skills development
The OECD’s Regional Policy Network on Education and Skills aims to foster knowledge exchange in support of national growth and regional integration. The Network encourages a whole-of-government approach to formulating and implementing sound skills policies. It draws on the growing participation by Southeast Asian countries in the OECD’s education surveys and local job creation policy reviews, which provide valuable comparative data and analysis that can help countries in the region build more efficient and effective employment and skills systems.
More information on leaders wanting to build an organization culture for analytics. Participants will learn where to start and how to prioritize implementation of analytics initiatives.

Returns to schooling, ability and cognitive skills in Pakistan and IndiaRECOUP
This paper investigates the economic outcomes of education for wage earners in Pakistan and India. This is done by analysing the relationship between schooling, cognitive skills and ability on the one hand, and economic activity, occupation, sectoral choice and earnings, on the other. In the economics of education literature for South Asia, an important question remains largely unaddressed: what does the coefficient on ‘schooling’ in conventional earnings function estimates measure? While human capital theory holds that the economic return to an extra year of schooling measures productivity gains acquired through additional schooling, the credentialist view argues that it represents a return to acquired qualifications and credentials while a third, the signalling hypothesis, suggests that is captures a return to native ability. This paper seeks to adjudicate between these theories using data from unique and comparable surveys of more than 1000 households each in Pakistan and India, collected in 2007-08. The paper also examines the shape of the education-earnings relationship as a way of testing the poverty reducing potential of education in South Asia.
education and transformations in transition(s) to adulthood in Ghana, Kenya, ...RECOUP
Adulthood is usually defined in terms of a series of markers: leaving school, starting a first job, leaving the parental home, forming a first union, marrying and having a first child, becoming a citizen. Such approaches draw on the idea that young people make one transition to what is locally agreed to be a clearly defined status—a destination at which one ‘arrives’. But globally, there is recognition that many of these markers are reversible and impermanent, so that there is no simple and clear notion of ‘youth’ in contrast to adulthood, and no notion of ‘arrival’ at a singular adulthood. Rather there are ‘fragile and reversible transitions’, negotiations and controls, and boundaries to cross before young men and women can take control of their lives as adults. Nevertheless, youth policy remains strongly influenced by the idea of linear transition, and the associated metaphor of individualised ‘pathways’ from school to work and adulthood.
In this paper we draw on data on social and human outcomes of schooling, collected under the aegis of the RECOUP programme of research, to consider the evidence on how schooling affects the nature of young men and women’s chances of gaining, for example: livelihood and enterprise; self- protection, security and equality; and agency, resilience and autonomy as adults in the RECOUP partner countries, and the implications for education and youth policy.
Educations Role In Health And Fertility Change (Pakistan, south asia, develop...RECOUP
One of the main outcomes of female schooling is supposed to be dramatic improvements in reproductive indicators, such as women’s access to health and family planning services, maternal morbidity and mortality, and indicators of infant and child health. Pakistan is a country where such beneficial outcomes are sorely needed: gross enrolment of girls in secondary schooling is only about 26%, the maternal mortality ratio is 320, and under-5 mortality rates are 90 for boys and 100 for girls. In these circumstances, it is imperative to understand better exactly how schooling contributes to the improvements in reproductive health, and what else might make a difference. In this paper we draw on quantitative and qualitative data collected by the RECOUP programme of research to address these questions.
Creating Jobs In Ghana UKFIET OXCON 2009 (education, skills, jobs, developmen...RECOUP
Poverty has halved in Ghana over the period from 1991 to 2005. We use the household surveys to investigate possible mechanisms which led to this outcome. In particular how was it linked to the creation of jobs and skills? While in the 1990s the pattern of a growth in urban sector self-employment is clear this process was reversed in the period to 2005. By 2005/06 it had fallen to 18.6 per cent of the working age population, substantially lower than the level of the early 1990s. The fall in urban self-employment was matched by a rise in wage employment in small firms which doubled as a percentage of the workforce from 3.4 to 6.7 per cent. Over the whole period from 1991/92 to 2005/06 the most striking change in the labour force was the rise in employment in small firms, from 225,000 to 886,000. Quite contrary to the perception that wage jobs are not being created they have been expanding far faster than the growth of the labour force. We also find that over the period from 1998/99 to 2005/06 real incomes rose by in excess of 50 per cent and that this rise was fastest in the lowest paying occupation. There was some shift from lower to higher paying occupations but it would appear that the income rises, which underlie the fall in poverty, were uniformly high across all sectors and particularly benefited the unskilled. We compare how skills acquired in technical education and through apprenticeship training have impacted on the types of jobs and their earnings and thus on their role in reducing poverty.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

9. Growth, Skills and Education
The case so far:
• Education is productive so it helps growth
• Education at all levels brings personal returns, and highest at
primary. Balance needed, but even primary level helps all society
and directly helps the poor
• Non-market effects and externalities (literacy, numeracy, health and
fertility behaviour) are delivered even by primary and particularly for
girls
• So UPE is a pro-poor, pro-growth strategy
9
10. Some Emerging Results
In the context of educational expansion world-wide:
• Certification provided by formal system remains powerful, even for
minority groups such as the disabled, because it gives chance, however
slim, of integration and social mobility
• This is true too of training systems: eg apprenticeships in west Africa
used as means of securing job access rather than self-employment; and in
India both formal and informal skills training amongst the poor do not bring
returns on their own. Other conditions are needed for training to bring
returns.
• Education thresholds for achieving behavioural change may be rising
• The pattern of returns to education is changing
10
11. Changing Patterns of returns to schooling
Earnings
concave
mixed
convex
S1 S2 S3 S4 Years of schooling
Relationships have been changing from concave towards convex. However, positive returns to primary still mean that primary schooling reduces
poverty and supports growth. Other non-earnings benefits from literacy and numeracy probably remain strong. Source: Colclough, Kingdon and
Patrinos 2009
12. Do changes to the pattern of returns
change the earlier logic?
• Evidence that private returns to sec/higher ed are
increasing, and often greater than those at primary
• Evidence that some behavioural changes are
increasingly associated with secondary
• Why? Supply-side changes in quantity and quality
reduce returns at primary and increase returns at higher
levels
12
13. Policy Choices in Education
• Emphasis on quantity will not solve the quality crisis
• True returns depend on costs, which are tiny for primary, very
high for tertiary. Most data cover only the wage-employed.
Returns in self-employment may be different, and higher for
primary.
• Where returns to primary remain positive, priority for
EFA/primary remains necessary on poverty and growth grounds.
Some obsolescence over time, but human capital, once given to
the poor, cannot be taken away. Its advantage is there for life
• High sec/tertiary returns may imply under-expansion and skill
constraint. Increased supply may boost production and
employment, thereby increasing opportunities for the poor.
Balance obviously required
• The rights case remains fundamental
