Objective Research into the educational and occupational experience of teenage mothers is rare. The three main objectives of this survey and analysis project are to:- to identify differences in the level and type of education and occupational training opportunities for teenage mothers throughout Europe by identifying current practice and structure which affect access; - provide recommendation and strategies for the inclusion of these teenage mothers in training programmes; and - provide a background for young mothers to be able to find employment.The survey will include three phases, each lasting a year. The first phase will establish a steering committee and focus groups representing, in each county, training agencies, educational and social services agencies, and teenage mothers themselves. This phase will also entail research on existing literature and statistics on teenage fertility and the start of the survey of education and training opportunities. In the second phase, case studies will be drawn up from best practice in each participating country. The last phase will see the production of national reports on the above-mentioned survey and case studies.The results will include criteria to judge the effectiveness of education and training provision for teenage mothers, and recommendations for inclusion strategies for teenage mothers in training programmes. ImpactThese surveys will act as an important basis for further work with teenage mothers in Europe by breaking down the barriers to their employment.Contract number : UK/97/1/39006/EA/III.2.a/FPIDomaine : Initial vocational trainingContents : Disadvantaged people Access to vocational training Social exclusionProducts : Publication Methodologies for analysing training needs Methodologies for forecasting training needs Public : Disadvantaged groups Less-qualified Unemployed Programme(s) ET-LEONARDO DA VINCI 1 - Action programme for the implementation of a European Community vocational training policy Leonardo da Vinci, 1995-1999 Topic(s) III.2.a - Surveys and analyses in the field of vocational training Call for proposal Data not available Funding Scheme CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinator UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL, GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION EU contribution No data Address SENATE HOUSE, TYNDALL Avenue BS8 1TH Bristol United Kingdom See on map Total cost No data Participants (5) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN Norway EU contribution No data Address BERGEN See on map Total cost No data UNIVERSITY OF BRISTOL United Kingdom EU contribution No data Address QUEEN'S ROAD BS8 1LN Bristol See on map Total cost No data Universita degli Studi di Padova Italy EU contribution No data Address Via Venezia 8 35100 Padova See on map Total cost No data University of Dublin Ireland EU contribution No data Address Pearse Street 192 2 Dublin See on map Total cost No data Uniwersytet Jagiellonski Poland EU contribution No data Address Golebia 13 31007 Krakow See on map Total cost No data
