A unique handbook for collegiate faculty, instructors, administrators, and graduate students in education to help professional and technical students discover meaning, purpose, and vocation through their scholarship. College students are looking for more than instrumental career knowledge and skills, they are looking for something to care about and build their lives around: a vocation. The book provides recommendations to enhance and amplify collegiate professional and technical instruction and curricula to support student discernment of vocation. Teaching for Vocation begins by making a case for teaching for vocation and provides a historical perspective on vocation in Western education. However, the core of the book focuses on the specific elements for an instructional framework on teaching for vocation.

Industry Reviews

"Hohn has done a wonderful job synthesizing a broad range of important ideas and findings, and I wish him much success with the book. It deserves a wide reading."

--Timothy Clydesdale, Ph.D, Vice Provost & Professor of Sociology, The College of New Jersey and author of "The Purposeful Graduate: Why Colleges Must Talk to Students About Vocation"

Tim Hohn has filled a noticeable gap in the growing literature on vocation and calling. Having spent his career teaching and advising students in technical and professional fields, he has developed a deep awareness of the vocational challenges that these students face. His book is filled with helpful narratives and practical advice that will make a genuine difference for college teachers and their students. For educators at community colleges and technical institutes, Teaching to Inspire Vocation is essential reading; but at four-year liberal arts institutions as well, teachers and advisors will find practical wisdom and useful suggestions to support their classroom teaching and improve conversations with advisees at all stages of life. If our students are to discern their vocations, they will need mentors who--in their teaching and advising--have found their own calling; we can all be grateful that Tim Hohn has found his.
