The Diversity of Opportunity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the diversity of employment opportunities in this field via examples of graduates who work in applied, research, and academic settings. The contributors explain how their graduate experiences were helpful to their careers, how they conducted their searches for employment and obtained their positions, what their positions and duties entail, and what concepts of community psychology are most emphasized in their positions. Employment in Community Psychology will help students, both undergraduate and graduate, decide on graduate schools, employment options, and courses of study while helping professors and advisors intelligently direct students to meaningful and satisfying careers.
