Product Description
This work analyzes the context of post-compulsory education and training through the stories of ten young people entering the world of youth training in Britain. In their re-examination of the ways in which young people make career decisions, the stories are grounded in policies emphasizing individual responsibility for education and training in a market built around neutral careers guidance. The book aims to show that current debates about education and training are often based on false assumptions about how people behave and interact with each other, and to help the reader understand the actions and perceptions of the young people in their care, as well as to reflect on his/her own professional practice. ...

Product Description
Based on a nationwide survey, this book looks at the changes over the last decade in the organization of education and the youth labour market. It examines the impact of the changes on the attitudes of teenagers moving from school to their first job or training scheme. This book examines the policies behind the "new" transition and examines whether they have opened up new opportunities for leavers. It outlines the youth training schemes and weighs up their benefits and disadvantages, and defines which young people are the most vulnerable to unemployment. The survey also sheds light on the aspirations of young people, the way they adjust to the labour market, the emergence of different lifestyles among young adults, patterns of leaving home and the effects of transitional experiences on mental health. ...

Product Description
The School-to-Work movement came together as a major national force for educational reform in the late 1980s and reached its peak in 1994 with the passage of the School-to-Work Opportunities Act.

Among other things, it hastened the spread of career development activities for all students, strengthened ties between schools and local employers, and supported the creation of many innovative work-based education programs. By the end of the decade, however, the influence of the movement had begun to decline as other reform movements came to dominate the national educational landscape. ... Read more
