WORK IN ORDER TO GET PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE.

IT´S IMPORTANT TO PREPARE THE PUPIL IN SCHOOL BEFORE SHE/HE BEGINS TO WORK AT THE TRAINEE POST. HERE ARE SOME TIPS ABOUT QUESTIONS THAT ARE GOOD TO KNOW.

THE BEST IS THAT A TEACHER OR THE STUDY COUNSELLER EXPLAIN HOW A COMPANY CAN LOOKS LIKE AND THEN THE PUPIL CAN BRING THE QUESTIONS WITH THEM TO THE PLACE OF WORK. THE EMPLOYER AND THE EMPLOYEES WILL GIVE THEM THE ANSWER OF THE QUESTIONS AND THE PUPILS WRITE IT DOWN IN THEIR DIARY ( THEY HAVE TO KEEP A DIARY.)1.THE COMPANY´S HISTORY2. ACTIVITY: PRODUCTS, WHO BUYS? SERVICES-FOR WHOM? RAW MATERIAL.3. ORGANIZATION: ORGANIZATIONAL CHART,OWNERSHIP,AFFILIATED COMPANY.4. MARKETING: ADVERTISING, SALES, DISTRIBUTION.5.

WHEN THE PUPILS ARE BACK IN SCHOOL THEY HAVE TO TELL ABOUT THE PERIOD THEY HAD AT THE TRAINEE SPOT. THEY CAN DO IT ORALLY IN THEIR OWN CLASS,THEY WILL GIVE THE DIARY TO THEIR CLASS-MENTOR,THE PUPILS CAN HAVE AN EXHIBITION ABOUT THE PRACTICE AND MAYBE THEY HAVE TO DO A WRITTEN COMPOSITION.OF COURSE THERE WILL BE AN EVULATION OF THE PRACTICE PERIOD.

PROFESSIONALS INFORM THE PUPILS.

AT PRESENT 21 PROFESSIONALS VISIT THE SCHOOL AND ALL OF THEM REPRESENT DIFFERENT PROFESSIONS. THE PROFESSIONALS ARE DIVIDED IN 7 GROUPS (3 PROFESSIONALS IN EACH GROUP) ALL 7 GROUPS HAVE 1 HOUR ON THEM TO INFORM, 20 MINUTES EACH PROFESSIONAL)

THE PUPILS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT 2 SUCH GROUPS AND CAN CONSEQUENTLY LISTEN TO 6 PROFESSIONALS. THIS ACTIVITY INCREASES THE PUPILS´ KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PROFESSIONS AND EDUCATIONS/STUDY PROGRAMMES AND BECAUSE OF THAT IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THEM TO CHOOSE FOR THE FUTURE. THE ACTIVITY TAKES HALF A SCHOOLDAY. ( IF YOU USE A WHOLE SCHOOLDAY THE PUPILS CAN LISTEN TO 12 PROFESSIONALS)THE INFORMATION IS ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF THE PROFESSION , SALERY, HOW DOES THE FUTURE LOOKS LIKE FOR THE PROFESSION, WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS THINK ABOUT THEIR JOBS WHAT IS EASY WHAT IS DIFFICULT AND THEY INFORM WHAT ABILITIES/TALENTS ARE GOOD TO HAVE IN THE PROFESSION.THE STUDY- AND VOCATIONAL COUNSELLOR IS THE ORGANIZER.

MAKE USE OF ROTARY´S AND LION´S OCCUPATION COMMITTEES WILLINGNESS TO INFORM THE PUPILS.

THE LAST FORMER AT THE UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL WILL BE INVITED TO MEET 1 OR 2 PROFESSIONALS IN ORDER TO DISCUSS HOW IT

IS TO WORK IN THE PROFESSION IN QUESTION.

WHAT STUDY PROGRAMMES AND PROFESSIONS ARE FOR PUPILS TO CHOOSE ? WELCOME TO AN EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION EXHIBITION!

EVERY SHOOLYEAR THE MUNICIPALITY OF KRISTIANSTAD ARRANGES AN EDUCATION AND OCCUPATION EXHIBITION FOR PUPILS. IN SEPT./OCT. IT´S FOR THE LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL TO PREPARE THE PUPILS´CHOICES TO THE UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL, ALL THE STUDY PROGRAMMES ARE PRESENTED FOR THEM AND PROFESSIONALS ARE ALSO INVITED.IN FEBR./MARCH IS IT TIME FOR THE PUPILS AT THE UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOL AND A LOTS OF STUDY PROGRAMMES ARE PRESENTED AND THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PROGRAMMES ARE INVITED FROM THE WHOLE COUNTRY (UNIVERSITIES, VOCATIONAL COLLEGES , PEOPLE FOLK HIGH SCHOOLS) AND MANY PROFESSIONALS ARE INVITED.THE STUDY- AND VOCATIONAL COUNSELLORS OF THE MUNICIPALITY ARE THE ORGANIZERS.THE INFORMATION IS GOING ON BOTH DURING ONE SCHOOLDAY AND ALSO DURING SOME HOURS IN THE AFTERNOON FOR PARENTS.

THE PUPILS GET A PROFESSION PROFILE BY MAKING AN INTEREST TEST ON THE COMPUTER.

THE PUPILS CAN FIND THE TEST IF THEY ON THE COMPUTER OPEN THE ”EMPLOYMENT OFFICE” AND THEN ” THE INTEREST TEST” . THEY HAVE TO ANSWER 60-150 QUESTIONS ABOUT RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES AND ASSIGNMENTS (TASKS) AFTER THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWS THE PUPILS´ INTEREST PROFILE AND SUGGESTS PROFESSIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PUPILS ANSWERS.

THE PUPILS CAN DO THE TEST THEMSELVES BUT IT´S GOOD TO DISUSS THE RESULT WITH THEIR STUDY-AND VOCATIONAL COUNSELLOR IN ORDER TO AVOID MISSUNDERSTANDINGS OR…….. HOPEFULLY THE PUPILS HAVE GOT MANY NEW IDEAS.

THE TEST EXAMINES THE FOLLOWING FIELD OF INTEREST:PROVIDE ADVICE AND SUPPORT TEACH, INSTRUCTPERSONAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES CARE FOR, TREATINVESTIGATE,PLAN,NEGOTIATE INFORMATIONWELLNESS AND CARE OF THE BODY BUY,SELL,MARKETART AND FORM DRIVEANIMALS,PLANTS,AGRICULTURE GUARD, PROTECTEXPERIMENTING, RESEARCHING COOK,WORK WITH FOOD.
