Europe and Sweden are part of an ever changing world. The changes are manifold and fast. Our staff must constantly update their knowledge about the labor market, educational systems and society in general. Migration between continents and countries means new conditions and it puts pressure on various social institutions. The increasing impact of globalization emphasizes our need to be well informed about other countries' educational systems and labor markets as well as the cultural background of each individual we meet. This project will widen the perspectives of our employees by enabling them to meet colleagues from other European countries and exchange knowledge and experiences with them, as well as learning about methods and models used in other countries. We live in a multicultural world and that increases the demand for a professional career guidance and counselling at a new level at an extent we have not experienced before. Our Career Guidance Centre needs to have a dialogue with other European guidance organizations and to visit them to learn about method development, tools for professional guidance of newly arrived foreign youths. Research show that parental engagement during the youth's school years dramatically decreases the risk of Drop-out from school and increases the chances the youth will graduate from school. The drop-out problem is considerable in Swedish schools and we want to look at how this is dealt with in other countries. Modern career guidance counselling learns from other countries' experience and also wants to increase the understanding for other countries - and our organization wants to be at the forefront. We want to open up the possibilities for international exchanges in our entire organization and learn from good examples which we can implement in our regular activities. Through the Exchanges we will have a clearer picture of how to meet the challenges we have identified, i.e. developing methods and tools to meet newly arrived pupils from other countries, working with parental guidance and the Drop-out problem. We plan to let twelve employees from the different departments of our organization have the possibility to study how the partners in the proposed project deal with what we have identified as our development areas. Our staff, i.e. career guidance counsellors, social pedagogues, youth officers and heads of unit, will all contribute their various sets of knowledge and professional experience. These professions cooperate closely with youths and Drop-outs – first and foremost with those who risk to Drop-out, but also with getting Drop-outs back to school. The guidance counsellors are well experienced in how to inform about upper secondary education and VET in classes, in smaller groups or individually. They help youths to plan their future and give the individual the tools to make strategic choices.The task of the heads of unit is to create the conditions for their staff to work in a professional way, i.a. by offering competence development of high quality, nationally as well as internationally. The heads of unit will also lead the proposed project, should it be approved. We will arrange preparatory meetings for the staff with a clear agenda on what should be studied during the visits and how the visits should be reported – all with the aim of implementing the experiences and the networking into the development plan of the organization. Written reports should be handed in, and oral reports be given to colleagues and heads of the organization on completing a study visit. All of this will contribute to the development plan of the organization. The Career Guidance Centre in Gothenburg is applying for this project in order to gain answers within some especially difficult problem areas, especially concerning integration and the Drop-out problem. The expected result is a more effective and sharp career guidance councelling for newly arrived young students, which will lead to better school results and fewer Drop-outs. This, in the end, will promote integration.
