Reviving the Relevance of Career Development in Human Resource Development

Linda M. Hite

Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne

The nature of work, organizations, and careers has evolved significantly in the past decade. In the wake of these changes, career-development research and implementation have languished. This article addresses this dearth of discourse and practice from the perspective of human resource development (HRD). The authors suggest a framework for reintegrating career development into the HRD function and offer specific learning activities better suited to the needs of individuals and organizations in this turbulent environment. Recommendations for future action are provided.

Key Words: career development • boundaryless careers • protean career • informal learning
