Future Work

The conscious choice of future occupation by students is one of the most important goals of general secondary education. Professions of ecological profi le have the important social implications, which are to further increase in the future. Meanwhile, this area of professional activity is hardly any popular among the young people. The paper features the innovative environmental professions, identifi ed based on foresights of the Russian and foreign experts. Presented are the results of surveying the 9th–the 11th grades students concerning their choice of the future professional activity area and the future work location, as well as the importance of ecological occupations for the national economy and the degree of the students’ readiness to master such professions. It was found, that the certain percentage of students (both boys and girls) are interested to get environmental-related professions. However, it is very desirable, that ecology and environment-related professions would be well paid, and, most importantly, satisfy the students’ personal interests and inclinations.

European living environments are well placed as an essential means through which cities become functional, modern, and liveable places, and are the ideal setting for the innovation and implementation of businesses and ideas. In addition, they are a place in which existing gaps in labour market inclusion are easily widened amongst those who, for various reasons, have not received adequate training, such as immigrants (including unaccompanied foreign minors) and young people without qualifications that have several difficulties in the access to higher education. Further, as is noted in the Phoenix report entitled Future Work Skills 2020, our educational system suffers from a lack of training with regards to the employment skills that need to be integrated into current society, as these have a crucial role for achieving success in the workplace. The aim of this study is to analyse the key skills for the inclusion of Unaccompanied Foreign Minors (UFM) in the workplace, developing a scale for the assessment of ten basic skills for the work of the future. These individuals are mostly young people without qualifications trying to make it in the new environments of current Smart Cities. This study employs an empirical and experimental methodology with two comparison groups of UFM adolescents. The UFM population is contextualised by the migratory flow from North Africa to Europe. Multistage sampling was used to select 345 participants. An approximation scale of the level of Future Work Skills was created as a data collection instrument through simulations of Horizon 2020 (EA-HFL-SH2020). Multivariate analysis was performed which revealed significant differences between school variables, work experience and educational level. The results are aligned with the evaluation of skill acquisition level for the working future of UFM and with the proposed training model of work skills that facilitate their inclusion in the world of the European workforce, as a function of the significant differences found. In addition, the emphasis is placed on the interest of identifying this type of skills in this group in order to develop appropriate training programs in higher education for employment success.

The long tide which swept our young people into high school and college over the last seventy-five years appears now to be mounting to its final surge. We are told that during these years our population increased three-fold and our high school enrollments ninety-fold, so that all but one-sixth of our young people reach high school and one-half complete its program. At the pre-war level, about one-sixth of all our young people entered college and about one-third of this number continued to their degrees. Inevitably, secondary education has been largely re-organized around social planning and personal adjustment as its coordinate foci, while the axis of higher education has shifted from the liberal to the functional area. How inevitable and how serviceable these changes have been, we who are close to the scene may find it hard to realize. A shrewd and sympathetic alien observer is likely to have them in truer perspective. For an appraisal of American secondary schools let me suggest a little book, The American Character written by a Cambridge University professor D. W. Brogan. My school-men friends call it the best thing of its kind and I am ready to agree.

Hofstede’s value assessment technique; R. Inglehart’s modified value survey; E. Y. Mandrikova’s self-organization of activity questionnaire; D. A. Leontiev’s “Differential Test of Reflection”; E. Diener’s satisfaction with life scale; S. Maddy’s viability test; D. McLain’s Multiple Stimulus Types Ambiguity Tolerance (MSTAT-I); K. M. Sheldon’s/J. C.

The Future

Contemporary debates over "the factory of the future" show that industries will need vocational workers that are empowered and skilled to act as decision-makers and controllers, holding technical and social skills of a high standard. Further, industrial development demands enough supply of skilled vocational workers. In Norway, a parallel concern is drop-out rates from upper secondary education. Consequently, it is of joint concern for the manufacturing industries, the secondary education system and the welfare state alike to ensure that young people choose vocational education and that they finish their education with skills and motivation needed to contribute in the "future manufacturing factory". The research question is the following: How can lower secondary schools or vocational colleges collaborate with industrial companies as to motivate young people to become vocational workers who are educated in the technical and generic skills needed for future manufacturing industries? With an action research approach, we explore on experiments of such innovative collaboration. We find that workplace-learning motivates young people to learn both trade specific and generic competencies. Thus, we argue that the lower secondary school-system must be included in what traditionally has been vocational education-workplace collaboration. Further, we find that the learning of future skill requirements presupposes collective learning processes and authentic problem solving. Finally, we argue that competencies fit well as an inclusion in both the social- and technological dimensions of socio-technical systems design, but more research is needed on the mechanisms by which competencies become "inputs" and "outputs" of future work designs.
