Innovative pathways into the professional life of the 21st century

Objective

As society becomes more mechanised and technology-based, young people need to become familiar with high technology at an earlier age. Schools and, often, the first years of university education, primarily teach theoretical knowledge without any practical applications.

This project will take into account the demand for intensive collaboration between educational institutions (school and university) and firms (small and medium-size firms and research institutes). Strategic, innovative approaches to vocational training will be tried and demonstrated, as will new ways and methods of reacting to technical changes and preparing for the jobs of tomorrow. The participating firms, research institutes, and universities will be innovative high-tech organisations specialising in research and development.

This project will implement a centre for young people, offering, under the guidance of specialists, both the application of theoretical knowledge acquired in school and entrepreneurial training. The centre will concentrate on computer engineering and software, high-tech toys, technical ornamentation, and organisation and marketing. The project will not target a particular group, but will offer information covering the different training pathways (apprenticeship and academic study).

Impact
The project will support the new generation of specialists in high technology. Through practical and application-oriented experience of high technology, young people will be able to develop their abilities and knowledge in relation to what is needed. This will therefore prepare them for insertion into professional life.
