Consortium celebrates the project accomplishments

The COR-VET project came to an end with the last workshop in Paderborn. The consortium members celebrated the successful completion of the tasks and were eager to build upon the foundations prepared by COR-VET. After analysing and studying problems in career orientation in the different countries and experiencing different approaches of handling difficulties the consortium members are ready to create and implement new tools that can help teachers and students in the critical phases of career orientation.

Welcome to the COR-VET project!

COR-VET is a Leonardo da Vinci partnership project that focuses on innovative approaches of career orientation for pupils in the field of vocational education and training. The partners will study these approaches and develop them further in order to create best-practice models. Together with the experiences made during the transfer-processes, these best-practice models can be offered to respective institutions in other EU member countries.

Project Summary

The project partners of COR-VET share innovative approaches of career orientation for pupils in the field of vocational education and training and develop them further in order to create best-practice models. Together with the experiences made during the transfer-processes, these best-practice models can be offered to respective institutions in other EU member countries.

Vocational orientation / career orientation can be divided into an orientation phase, a decision phase, and a realisation phase of the learners who will work on their transition into the world of labour. Understanding the degree at which these phases are implemented and connected in the different countries is paramount to improving career orientation in an effective and sustainable way. In COR-VET the partners examine the different approaches of vocational choice in the educational systems of the partner countries and understand the challenges they face. The focus will be set on the transition from school to the world of labour. Possible transition models will be compared across Europe. Pupils need a better idea of their attitudes, competencies and interests as they relate to discovering more about themselves and their possible career choices.
