                "I don’t think the management of change is a science, 
                it’s an art, so I don’t think there is a formula for it."

                            This course is addressed to:
               •   Local authorities and politicians at local and regional levels; 
               •   State and local administration in education (Regional Education Directorates, Community 
                   Commissions for Education or similar, etc.), and state and local administration responsible 
                   for the local and regional labour market (Employment Office Directorates, Regional 
                   Employment Agencies, etc.)
               •   Higher Education institutions
               •   NGOs operating in Education and/or on/for the labour market needs 
                                               Overview 
                •   By definition, progress means change and future is marked by evolution and 
                    continuous  improvement.  But  change  is  not  always  comfortable  and 
                    acceptable.  It  may  challenge  the  organization’s  routine,  people’s 
                    assumptions and everyday practices and ways they are used to doing and 
                    seeing things. 
                •   Change  requires  making  a  serious  analysis  of  the  past  and  current 
                    developments  while  having  in  mind  the  larger  picture  of  the  future 
                    perspectives and eventual results. And because outcome of education and 
                    educational efforts is always turned to the future it means that change is an 
                    immanent characteristic.
            Change management 
      Definitions of Speaking about organizational change we should differentiate 
      between the “process” or change model organization is going to follow, and the 
      “transition” or affecting impact when embarking on a change effort. 
      Change management is a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, 
      and  organizations  from  a  current  state  to  a  desired  future  state,  to  fulfill  or 
      implement  a  vision  and  strategy.  It  is  an  organizational  process  aimed  at 
      empowering  people  involved  to  accept  and  embrace  changes  in  their  current 
      environment.
