The working world is in a state of flux. Workplace culture and trends have changed dramatically due to new technologies and major disruptions such as COVID. We can only guess at what the future holds for the world of work, but for right now, the best we can do is keep up with the changes.
And, keep up with them, we at Infobase do. Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center, our award-winning reference database for lifelong career exploration and planning, is continuously updated with new content to help your students and patrons get the latest information about jobs and professions, career-related programs, and workplace culture.
