Short description:
The GABEK ® Volume V summarizes applications of the method that have been reported in the VIII International GABEK Symposium in Sterzing.

In this anthology, GABEK projects are described, in which valuations of the affected people are reflected. This involves an invitation to a dialogue on values, goals and opportunities for development of individuals, as well as of different organizations.

The importance of such dialogue has lead to the development of new tools within the software WinRelan®, created for GABEK®. These tools that represent values and goals allow for a comparison and interpretation of rating systems and for the weighting of values and goals.

Wege ins Berufsleben – Ein Leitfaden für Eltern
My child is choosing a career

Innsbruck, Lodz: Hafelekar Eigenverlag 2008

147 Seiten

Short description:
Parents often feel overwhelmed when it comes to the professional future of their children; Often their help results contraproductive. Changes in the labor market, unemployment and the increasing amount of information about jobs and training opportunities for young people lead to confusion, indecision and lack of information.

The Parents’ Guide “Pathways to employment” describes clearly, how parents can help their children at their school and professional orientation.

Vocational orientation does not begin until the last year of compulsory education, and so there are also indications for the phase before the actual decision-making.

The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with various aspects of career planning like different development stages of a child and their relationship to the professional orientation process, the importance of biological and psychological factors and external factors. In addition it gives practical tips for career guidance, job search and the application process.

In the second part the authors examine factors that influence the relationship between parents and children, such as motivational structures and levels of relationships between adolescents and their parents. The appendix of the book provides information on institutions for professional advice.

This publication came in English, German, Spanish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Polish and Greek, and published the result of the EU project “Parents as vocational trainers“, which brings together institutions from Poland, Austria, Spain, Lithuania, Romania and Cyprus.

Short description:
What does quality mean for the apprenticeship and how can it be improved? This crucial question of the dual education system is approached here.

On the basis of interviews with apprentices, instructors and vocational teachers, five precise fields of action have been defined and models for practical solutions have been worked out and realized.

Fields of action in theory and practice:

giving assistance with the choice of occupation
building up basis competences for lifelong learning
creating inspiring learning environments
qualifiying instructors and vocational teachers
cooperating to maintain quality assurance

In this book, the authors give a first draft of the actual situation and the theoretical bases for each field of action in order to provide a basis for the presentation of the practical solutions.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains checklists and guidelines for the fields of action, as well as learning tasks to enhance self-dependent learning abilities. It also features a new presentation mode of the scientific software GABEK-WinRelan for the readers to explore the complete data of the project’s base study.

This book was developed within the EQUAL project “AQUA – Apprenticeship Quality“.

Gender Mainstreaming – an often used term, scarcely understood and rarely really wanted. The manifold reactions and violent emotions regarding this topic lead to this assumption.

Which are the theoretical and judicial bases?
How can Gender Mainstreaming be applied in the business world?

This publication provides the necessary basic knowledge for it.

After a survey over feminist theories, a definiton of the central terms of equal opportunities policy is given in scientific and judicial terms.

On this basis, the following actual topics are focused on: choice of occupation, compatibility of work and family, income distribution, equal treatment and equal opportunities. The third and main chapter is dedicated to the precise realisation of projects. A survey of possible fund givers in the EU leads over to the description of the single phases of a project, from the analysis to the assurance of sustainibility. Finally, current Gender Mainstreaming projects in Tyrol are presented.

The enclosed CD-ROM contains a rich collection of up-to-date publications ,checklists, guidelines, links and contact adresses for the realisation of Gender Mainstereaming. It also features a new presentation mode of the scientific software GABEK-WinRelan for the readers to explore the complete data of the WoMen field study, referred to in the book.
