Motivation in transition

This article explores the subject of motivation in young people’s transitions to work, which has become a crucial issue for youth and educational policies throughout Europe, in response to problems of young people leaving school early or later drop-out and withdrawal. While young people’s disengagement means that educational and career services have difficulty staying in contact with them, findings from a recent research project show, in an exemplary way, how disengaged young people can be re-motivated to develop a proactive attitude towards their transitional biographies. This research identifies various modes of (biographical) participation as a prerequisite for such motivational change.
