(Re)Defining the Goal Book Study

How can we best prepare students to be successful in the modern workforce? Many students leave education over-educated, under-employed, and facing mounting college costs. Kevin J Fleming has been a leader in career development research and advocate for preparing students to hold a competitive advantage in the modern workforce.
