GWO - Guide to the World of Occupations

The GWO project will build upon previously funded Leonardo da Vinci activity to develop a 'new' advanced version of the multimedia computer database Guide to the World of Occupations.The GWO programme is designed for users needing assistance in occupational choice and employment search. It offers support in all phases of career choice, from self-awareness, career decision making and awareness of labour market opportunities to decision making and obtaining an appropriate employment offer. The database contains eight different procedures for the selection of information on individual occupations and these are presented in the form of brief descriptions, colour photos of work activities and even sound recordings of example work dialogue.The 'new' version of the programme will feature the following improvements; a new core of standardised occupations with a direct link to an occupational internet database; a new 'Graduate' module (supporting the transition process of young people from school to work); a web portal (providing labour market information, employment, career choice and job search information via the internet) and a range of specialist links to other databases and programmes developed under the Leonardo da Vinci programme.The 'new' version will be made available through national partner websites and will be available to download to enable off-line use. The programme will be developed in EN and following initial piloting will be extended with a national version being created for each of the partner countries. Active internet dissemination is planned in addition to approaches to non-involved guidance services across the rest of Europe with potential for extending the programme to other countries at a later stage.
