Objective
Trends in the structure of global and European economies coupled with a high rate of technological change have led to a number of changes in the employment market. Some industries experience difficulties in recruiting sufficient young people with appropriate qualifications to the point where the future viability and competitiveness of certain industrial sectors is in question. In addition, many of the traditional academic qualifications do not appropriately prepare young people for the world of work.
The project aims to counter these misconceptions by producing, disseminating and encouraging the active use of materials which will illustrate the attractiveness of specific industrial sectors by detailing the range of opportunities in new and changing fields of employment. Using their own training organisations and employer links, the partners will survey the needs particular to their area and assemble data relevant to meeting these needs. This information will form the basis for the development of materials suitable for direct use in educational institutions in each country, using their knowledge and expertise to shape the materials in the most appropriate and influential form.
Impact
The project will establish structures that promote the participation of young people, particularly those remaining in education beyond the compulsory leaving age.
