Evaluation of Skills for Work pilot courses : final report
The evaluation has shown that the SfW pilot has been successful in achieving the objectives and key measures of success identified by the stakeholders interviewed at
the start of the pilot. Schools, colleges and providers are committed to the value of SfW courses and see them as having raised the status of vocational learning in schools; providers have developed and tested out different approaches to delivering courses and overcome various obstacles and challenges; schools and colleges are increasingly recognising the need to work more closely together and have started to implement strategies to strengthen their partnerships; colleges and schools are positive about the impact of courses on students’ attitudes and skills relevant to employment, their motivation to learn, and their ability to work with and relate to adults; finally, more than four-fifths of students had passed their courses by the end of the second year of the pilot

Barriers to participation in education and training
This study explores the barriers and constraints young people currently face when deciding what to do at the end of their compulsory schooling in Year 11.

This survey was supplemented by interviews with booster samples of 519 young people across specific sub-groups and 102 parent interviews
Wie sehen Mitarbeiter von Feuerwehr und THW den Einsatz sozialer Medien in Gefahrenlagen?
Zahlreiche Studien und Berichte zeigen, dass soziale Medien in Gefahrenlagen eingesetzt werden – und dass trotz möglicher Herausforderungen für Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben (BOS) nutzbringende Anwendungsfälle identifiziert werden können. Auch wenn unstrittig ist, dass die Verbreitung von Fehlinformationen und sogenannte „Unfallgaffer“ nicht gefördert werden sollten, besteht die Möglichkeit, die verfügbaren Daten aus sozialen Medien geeignet zu nutzen. Empirische Studien hinsichtlich der Einstellungen von BOS zu sozialen Medien sind derzeit noch nicht weit verbreitet. Dieser Artikel fasst die Ergebnisse einer Umfragestudie mit 761 BOS-Mitarbeitern in 32 europäischen Ländern im Rahmen des EU-Projekts „EmerGent“ zusammen. Die Ziele der Umfrage waren die Untersuchung der Meinungen von BOS zu sozialen Medien für den
privaten und organisatorischen Gebrauch sowie Hauptfaktoren, die die aktuelle und wahrscheinliche zukĂĽnftige Nutzung von sozialen Medien in ihren Organisationen beeinflussen
