Objectives

The primary objective of the Erasmus project was to enhance the quality of career guidance and planning for secondary, vocational, and post-secondary students, as well as young adults up to 26 years old. We aimed to create a modern, standardized modular system for career analysis, diagnosis, and guidance to support career counselors. This system was designed to address the specific needs of students by providing a comprehensive tool that could assess their capacities, aptitudes, and professional interests. Additionally, we sought to improve the overall effectiveness of career guidance by integrating new technologies and methodologies into the process. By doing so, we aimed to ensure that students could make informed decisions about their future careers based on accurate and reliable information. The project also aimed to foster collaboration between educational institutions and career guidance professionals, thereby enhancing the overall quality of education and career planning.

Background

The Erasmus project aimed to enhance the quality of career guidance and planning for secondary, vocational, and post-secondary students, as well as young adults up to 26 years old. The consortium identified several key issues that needed to be addressed, including high school dropout rates, low quality and efficacy of career guidance, and the lack of a comprehensive tool for career diagnosis. The project resulted in the creation of an online tool for high school and post-secondary students, vocational advisors, psychologists, and HR staff. The tool, consisting of at least eight modules, was updated, adapted to new partner countries, and translated into national languages. The project also led to increased involvement of schools and training institutions in offering high-quality career guidance services and the integration of new technologies into the career guidance process.
