Society for Vocational Psychology (SVP) Conference at Part 3 of 8 Joan Wills, Institute for Educational Leadership, Washington D.C. – Federal legislation in the United States continues to omit language that provides resources for the provision of quality development and guidance services for youth and adults. As federal dollars continue to shrink, it is incumbent upon researchers and key career development stakeholders to offer strong evidence that links access to quality career development services to critical workforce readiness and economic outcomes. This plenary session will describe how organizations such as the Society for Vocational Psychology and the National Career Development Association can play a stronger role in this career policy discourse by distilling the current knowledge base, translating this knowledge base in ways that target specific national, state and local policy makers, and developing a national research agenda that identifies a common set of metrics to be used and that takes advantage of newly developed state database systems that can track youth and adults with respect to academic and workforce outcomes. Hosted by School of Education on November 4-6, 2011.

In this summary you will learn:
  • Why Sergey Brin and Larry Page started Google
  • How they kept control of it despite pressure from their investors and financial backers
  • How the acrimony between Microsoft and Google originated
  • What Google plans for the future

Why you should read The Google Story
You probably use Google when you are looking for something on the Web. But do you know who founded the company and why it is unique? Here’s the inside scoop. Authors David Vise and Mark Malseed tell the story of Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin in fast-moving, energetic prose, from start-up to triumph. The authors spend little time considering any of the possible negative aspects associated with Google, but most readers will find that it hardly matters because their book is downright fun, and it ends with a useful set of Google search tips. getAbstract says you will learn so much about the founders, the company’s management and its wonderfully exotic culture that you will not notice the absence of critical distance.

A Wharton M.B.A. named to the school’s list of most influential alumni, he began his career at a major brokerage house. He wrote for a financial analysis Web site and the Wall Street Journal.
