Preparing for the New Europe: An Education/Industry Initiative

Abstract

Reviews Industrial Society education/industry initiatives, focused on their “Challenge of Europe” conference, to encourage sixth‐formers, in particular, to find out more about developments in Europe and how the EC works, to disseminate information on education, training and career opportunities in Europe, and to enable young people to become knowledgeable Europeans. Notes the problem of academic staff reluctance to participate; more attention should have been given to staff training and awareness at the outset. However, over 400 school and sixth‐form colleges are now involved.
