Career construction, placement and work engagement. Actuality of labor pedagogy
Daniela Dato
Work Pedagogy, in its double theoretic and praxis dimensions, shows itself as an important tool for understanding the contemporary age of “end of work”. It can be considered a science for engagement and mediation, able to tie contexts, people, knowledges and models, as well as promoting intelligences, possibilities, scenarios, ambitions. Thence, the essay gives a reflection upon the definition of the specific role that Work Pedagogy can today carry out in re-tying the difficult relationship between education and work. Among the plural practical translation that it can plan and realize, the Work Pedagogy unveils itself as a “militant” science for the promotion of work guidance through pedagogical placement and work engagement, both fundamental for the building of professional development plans and for the promotion of a “good work” culture within a Life Long Learning perspective.
