Description
First published in 1982, this book brings together accounts from Britain, Australia, Ireland and the USSR to examine work experience schemes in secondary schools.
The need for young people to gain experience of the kinds of work they may encounter outside school was driven by changes in the nature of work and its distribution. In response, a range of schemes were developed, including work study, simulation, link courses and pairing.
However, schools and teachers found it difficult to access information about these schemes and their outcomes. This book addresses this gap by providing an overview of the different approaches and underlying social economic issues that influenced their development.
