Contribution
In the 1990s a range of new policies to handle the problematic gap between secondary school and work was developed in Sweden. Some were initiated from the State level, e.g. the reform of upper-secondary school in 1992/93, particularly meant to strengthen VET. Other policies were local and fragmented, and reflected a major shift in governance of the public welfare sector, as well as an increased dependence on external funding, not least from the EU. The local youth projects of the 1990s and early 2000s, preparing unemployed young people for the future, may be seen as characteristic of this new, "post-modern" education and youth policy. The contents and quality of youth projects are extremely varying, but at the discursive level, they are however surprisingly alike. Taking my departure in VET and youth projects, I analyse to what extent and how contemporary Swedish local and national education policies on school-to-work transition reflect an ongoing process of Europeanization.
