Some of the contributions suggested by employers are:

Validating the trends and future needs regarding skills for
the labour market together with the school;

Promoting classes or lectures given by the guests of the
labour market (employers, collaborators and/or alumni) to
share their experiences and vision about careers and future
opportunities;

Balancing theoretical education with practice by fostering
academic internships, study visits or Job shadowing 16
(including the primary and secondary sectors of the
economy);

Promoting internships during the summer adapted
according to the students' age;

Developing case studies with the aim of placing students
in the role of employer or employee and presenting them
with real challenges, promoting the debate of ideas about
solving concrete problems;

Making students aware of the importance of soft skills, such
as a sense of responsibility and satisfaction in carrying out
any task, the respect of the rules and objectives defined by
the employer; or the importance of dialogue, teamwork and
positive attitude at work;
