The educational system created has been based on proven teaching and training practices, in addition to having an attractive appearance and adapted to the target group: it is gamified and easy to use through the app created by the project. Organizations from Italy, Turkey, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Spain have participated in the VOCCESS project.

The training program generates an active involvement of users, asking and making them reflect on their situation and their preferences, without forgetting their knowledge and skills, to give rise to a range of specific guidance suggestions for their professional careers. The system supports users in the most important points of a successful career: - determine your vocation, using a unique combination of values, interests and natural talents; - find the best career path/option, setting and achieving goals; - Generate guided and oriented learning so that they acquire knowledge about the necessary steps to develop the professional career that best suits them.

Through the created VOCCESS methodology, a gamified learning process is presented that gives participants the opportunity to track their progress and earn rewards for each achievement, an innovative approach in the field. In addition, VOCCESS provides a unique step-by-step strategy for each user, which creates a vision for their professional development, helps them set goals and build a plan to achieve them. The methodology includes coaching, NLP methods (neurolinguistic programming) and curriculum design for professional education. Through the online course and the VOCCESS app, the opportunity to take advantage of the interactive online program for career guidance is provided to young people from the participating countries but also to English-speaking users outside these countries. All results have been translated into all languages of the countries of the project partners. VOCCESS has managed to generate a methodology, a system of profiles and an online course that unifies the program, which helps young people to have a different approach in terms of their careers, guiding them in their self-knowledge and that of their own context and opportunities available. The project has reached more than 4,500 people between the ages of 18 and 34, with the majority group being between 19 and 26 years old. In addition, the results produced have been implemented and tested with more than 450 people. The long-term benefits of the project are promising, mainly due to the contact with the General Directorate of Employment and Training (GVA Labora) since it may affect the process of preparing Valencian public policies.
