The Changing World of Work is a three year school project for students aged 14-18 which will involve a comparative study of the changes which have taken place in the working world over the last 50 years and on the career and higher education opportunities for young people in the five partner schools in four European nations. Students will gather information on the jobs carried out by the previous two generations of their family. They will share this information in English, German and Spanish with the pupils of the partner institutions via e-mail and website postings. Over the three years students will progress from the historical aspect to a consideration of their current career options and then to a study of future career plans. Pupils will also work to provide profiles of the main employers within their areas producing a dossier on the main employment opportunities locally.
