Curriculum în dezvoltarea locală și formarea profesională a liceenilor

Abstract

This article examines the critical role of the local curriculum in fostering the professional development of high school students, emphasizing the importance of aligning educational content with the specific demands of the local labor market. By adapting the curriculum to the economic and social realities of the region, schools can provide students with the practical skills and knowledge required for a successful transition from education to employment. The research presented includes case studies and examples of best practices from different regions, highlighting how local curricula have been implemented to support industries such as agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and other key economic sectors. These initiatives not only increase student employability but also contribute to reducing youth unemployment rates and enhancing local economic development. Furthermore, the article discusses how cooperation between schools, local authorities, and businesses can enhance the relevance of vocational training programs, ensuring that students acquire competencies that are in demand. The findings suggest that local curriculum development plays an essential role in bridging the gap between education and employment, ultimately fostering a well-prepared, skilled workforce that is deeply integrated into and responsive to the needs of its community.
