WORKING GROUP: TRANSITION
Italy
An informative module designed for students attending the last year of high school to support
them in the choice of a university faculty, of a post high school specialization course or in their
transition to the world of work.
The most important subjects of the modules were:
A general overview of the local, national and international labour market: trends,
needs and demands coming from companies, legislation, opportunities for young
people.
Job search: how to find information about vacancies, how to write a CV, how to
manage an interview etc.
The world of work seen from different perspectives: HR managers, craftsmen, trade
unionists etc
Self employment
The Netherlands
Career counselling has to get a push, the content of that has to be regularly in the curriculum,
x‐hours career counselling has to be guaranteed in the regular budget of schools.
Poland
The first transition from the world of education to the world of work is the most important in
each human life. Thus, it should be a focus of all guidance activities and should have a special
lace in the implementation of the strategy for LLL in each member state.
We observe in Europe the issue of migration and related to it a problem of social inclusion.
However, one can observe a new phenomenon: the mean time spend abroad is in average
longer but there is less and less people who decide to stay “for ever” in other country.
For example 46% of young people who went to Great Britain come back, spending there less
than half a year.
The important reason for coming back, not only Polish migrants, is the fact that immigrants
usually do work under their qualifications and competences. Consciousness of that is the main
reason to come back to mother country. Another reason is the improvement of local economy.
