Learning Outcomes

By the end of the session, students will be able to contrast companies from the world of work in 1955 with the world of work in 2007.

Introduction

Display the PowerPoint – slide 1. Discuss the information that the company provides. Bring out the fact that the information provided is about changes in the company. Ask them to decide why the company might think that this is the important information – this could be provided in hard copy from the Changes worksheet if needed.

Display slide 2 showing a series of logos from companies that are around today. Ask them if they recognise the companies from their logos and to consider how old they think the companies are and if they were in business in 1955. The companies used represent some that are quite new and some from before 1955.
