Project Summary

The world is now moving very fast, and the time has come when this meritocratic society accepts only those, having right qualification and right skills. Now it’s high time, when the transparency in job recruitment has taken place. Challenges and competition are the part of today’s society, and therefore, CAREER PLANING is the only task, which can guide us to do what we want to do in our life, rather than just aimlessly changing job all the time in future.CAREER PLANNING serves as a key to success. Pre-planning would be effective and would give him/her benefits after achieving educational targets effectively.The Internet had destroyed 500,000 jobs,in the previous 15 years but at the same time had created 1.2 million others, a net addition of 700,000, or 2.4 jobs created for every job destroyed. The growing role of big data in the economy and business will create a significant need for statisticians and data analysts; we estimate a shortfall of up to 5000,000 data scientists in a decade. The idea of the project was created on this problem statement. So at this project we aim to let the students gain the 21. First Century skills and know more about Future jobs and experience them. So after searching the literature Five Profession were decided to work on and experience. This project is based on “Design Labs”. Our first aim is to improve their awareness about future Jobs and employment and let them create an effective Career planing. Second important aim is giving a chance to students to experience these jobs for a week by the LTT activities.

2. USER EXPERIENCE DESIGNER- GREECE
3. SOCIAL MEDIA INFLUENCER -PORTUGAL

Four students and two teachers will attend these LTT activities and after the LTT activities each participant teams will organize a meeting and they will share their experience and knowledge with the students and teachers at their schools. The similar activities that will be implemented at the LTT will be held at the school level.

By the help of these activities they will learn more about the jobs and by the help of all activities they will improve their 21. Century Skills.
