Work experience schemes were becoming an ever more central part of
the curriculum in secondary schools in the early 1980s; indeed,
'work' had become a new subject in many. Fundamental changes in the
nature of work and in its distribution and availability for school
leavers made it particularly important that young people had
experience of the kinds of work that may have awaited them in the
outside world. A wide range of schemes were developed to meet this
need, including work study, simulation, link courses and pairing.
Yet schools and their teachers found it difficult to obtain
information about these schemes and their results. This book,
originally published in 1982, solved the problem by bringing
together accounts from Britain, Australia, Ireland and the USSR,
with an extended editorial introduction which examines both the
reasons for providing work experience in schools and the underlying
social economic issues.
