Retraining Displaced Professionals

By Paul J. Edelson, Jane O'Brien, Marlene Brennan

This publication provides an understanding of issues involved in developing university-based training programs for displaced professionals. Data is presented from a range of universities and program formats. Says Paul Edelson, "Professionalization that extends beyond the walls of the present employer is the best insurance against future unemployment. Continuous training and lifelong learning are vehicles for achieving industry-wide certification of skills competency and building confidence and self-esteem." This publication describes innovative university programs that have helped displaced professionals to transition after downsizing and to adapt to new and changing industries.
