Description
Project overall objective is to support young people with low levels of education who belong to the risk group in the continuation of their education or the development of readiness to enter the labour market after basic school. The primary function of vocational orientation training is to support each student in making a career choice, doing so in cooperation with external partners (Unemployment Insurance Fund, Local Governments, Prison Service) and companies (school-related businesses providing work practice). Cooperation with local governments is the key word in this project. An individual approach, creating a greater overview of the young person, is necessary to ensure that the choice of profession training is completed, in order to work together in identifying the obstacles that prevent people from starting work or continuing their studies.
As a result of the project, 44 young people have participated in the vocational orientation training programme and at least 50% of the young people who have studied have entered the labour market or are continuing their studies.
