Description

One of the issues Europe is challenging in school education is high youth unemployment and migration leaving secondary education and not entering higher education after reaching the age of majority. Based on findings in latest researches the East European countries have faced huge migration levels due to the weak acknowledgments of clear vision for possible future career and guided career counseling in the last classes before school graduation. This causes migration to west European countries were the vision is less complicated, in most cases well paid but less recognizable in society (simple jobs). This limits development of local Economies of three Baltic countries.Therefore the project aims to: develop and implement innovative practices in Career Education at Schools for better motivation for Career developments in local/regional economies; promote Career Guidance competence of school teachers and Career Counselors based on interdisciplinarity among Design, Technology and Economics; facilitate motivated and targeted Career choices for learners in selected fields for targeted focus on the subjects and courses in School and selection of future Vocational Education or Higher Education Institutions. The innovative character of the project is its interdisciplinary approach allowing school children to introduce themselves to sectors of local economy industries trough inspiration of the Design industry, simultaneously presenting the complex world of technologies and engineering beside the facts of Business Economics in the form of costs and margins along of human recourses involved in the process, their professionalism levels and hourly or monthly rates they get paid in average. The last findings are of high importance to youngsters since the desired level and status of profession requires certain higher education and this leads to the necessary courses and subjects to be well acquired during the secondary education. In this way project will bring motivation to school children for better education and selection of home country universities based on the clear vision and findings of future career possibilities in home country.
