Planned approach and implementation
Study and careers advicer at Upper school has lead the project in cooperation with a working group of teachers from all schools. In the steering group we have school management, politicians and business development office. Study and careers advicer/teachers have developed a ´working plan for cooperation school-working life´, that has been tested at all schools. A new plan for practical occupational experience has been developed in cooperation with business organisations. All goals are not reached. This is due to exchange of project leader and repeated changes in school management.
