Title
Working in Canada: A Sociological Exploration
Abstract
Canada's student body is diverse and the transition from student to worker is often challenging. Working in Canada's intersectional and practical approach to work draws connections between sociological theory and examples to students lived and work experiences to help students better understand the workforce they will soon enter. -- Publisher's description
