The landscape of work is changing rapidly and young people need information about these changes to enable them to navigate this complexity. The transition from education to work presents young people with an important and complex set of decisions. How long should they remain in education? What kind of work interests them and how will they discover the available options in terms of finding out about work? Is a university education a sensible route for all those who can make the grade? What about job-related training - how will it help and who will provide it? This report presents preliminary findings from a major research project that sheds light on these changes. Our evidence is derived mainly from discussions with employers and interviews with young people, focussing in and around the West and East Midlands.
