Include work life visits in study units

Educators (subject teachers and guidance counsellors)

• Find an appropriate workplace to visit 
• Contact the organisation and agree on a time
• Review the Educator resources
• Use the resources to prepare for the visit
• Implements the visit during the study unit (online or on-site)

Employer representatives

• Review the employer representative resources before the visit
• Use the resources to prepare for the visit
• Prepare a presentation to support the visit 
• Implements the visit for an upper secondary school study unit (remote or on-site)

The visit path and resources have been prepared in cooperation with subject teachers, study counsellors and employer representatives. Temporal constraints have been factored in the plan. 

Schedule

• Educator resource review approx. 20 min
• Pre-visit preparations in class approx. 20 min 
• Work life visit during one lesson: minimum visit duration 45 min, post-visit summary discussion at the end of the lesson

• If you want to arrange a visit for your students, use the search engine to find a site and contact an employer representative. Suggest a few suitable timeslots and describe your course content.
• Review the resources to create a pedagogical work life visit path for students.

Our resources include help for student orientation, instructions for implementation of a visit as part of a study unit and support for visit debriefing. The resources include current information on how young people feel about employment and education, which helps in preparing a work life visit from their perspective.
