Abstract
-
The professionalization of work and the logic of technology promotes tendencies toward specialization in work environments. In some respects the military epitomizes these trends. Moreover, as the notion of a work "career" engenders profound transformations such that an occupation, even if professional, is not likely to be inhabited life-long, the idea of a second career is now a reality for increasing numbers of individuals in professional occupations. The skills needed to effect satisfactory transitions become critical in work forces confronted with the likelihood of multiple careers in their work experiences. This research is an effect in that direction: to examine the medley of skills, experiences and educational experiences that enable the individual to bridge the organizational gaps and facilitate the re-entry into another work domain.
