WORKING GROUP: SCHOOL<br />

The same time students observe a real work place <strong>and</strong> realise the importance of some soft<br />

skills, like multitasking, problem solving, team working, time management, leadership etc. The<br />

part of realisation of these skills is the first step of personal development.<br />

Regarding the development of these skills, career counsellors via interactive exercises <strong>and</strong><br />

activities in individual or group sessions can train students.<br />

The same time “Career Days” can help students. Professionals from different fields discuss<br />

one or two weeks in an enterprise is one of the most effective ways to link the gap between<br />

school <strong>and</strong> world of work. Students “work” for some days in a company <strong>and</strong> live the every day<br />

work life.<br />
