🔵 Research🟡 Education🔴 Employment💡 Expands the STEM strategic plan
- Description
- Experiment and test the creation of career exploration centers that students can attend from the last year of middle school to university, substituting a part of class hours, to promote an informed understanding of career options and experiences, focused on careers in high demand and in relation to EU priorities (i.e, the Green Deal, security but also entrepreneurship). The centers offer structured activities between secondary and tertiary education, or teachers/university lecturers training on career design support to students, which are investigated through longitudinal studies to test the effectiveness in particular for vulnerable students. The centers promote lifelong learning beyond the traditional school years and encourage inclusion of local actors.

Studies and careers tend to be ever more multidisciplinary while trying to grasp and cover the societal and economical needs of communities. At the same time projections on future job trends are constantly being placed. Young people should be included in this dialogue early on as it could help them reconcile aspirations with reality as well as test and change their focus and research as they see fit timely.
