  • 1.  Measuring career learning

    Posted 05-03-2007 10:54
    Hello,

    I'm interested in measuring different dimensions of learning in an MBA
    internship. One of the dimensions pertains to learning what a career would
    look like in a particular industry and/or functional domain. Hall (e.g.,
    2002) calls this career "trial and exploration", though in this case "trial
    and exploration" are happening over weeks, not years.

    I haven't found any studies that have operationalized "career learning". Is
    anyone aware of any measures that may be available for this or any similar
    constructs?

    Thanks,
