- We'll be looking beyond literacy and numeracy (though of course not dismissing them), to things like organisational savviness, communication, teamworking, problem-solving, creativity, and the ability to pick up new skills or new ideas quickly.
- We'll be having a look at Enterprise education in its first year in schools.
- We're looking for some case studies of organisations that help prepare people for the workplace, through things like working with schools, setting up training programmes in organanisatons themselves, or running social enterprises.
- We'll be doing some opinion polling, possibly of recent graduates, or business leaders (or both) to see how people feel the education system prepares people for the world of work.
More coherent thoughts to come soon.
If you're interested in the project, know of any good potential case studies, or have come across any books that you think we should be reading, just drop me or Sarah an email and let us know.
Oh, and you can visit the project page on the main website here.
