Common goals - Common ways

The project aims at tackling several major issues of Hungarian vocational education. One of them has arisen due to the growing number of at-risk youth, including a large proportion of Roma young people, in VET for the past decades. This fact demands several specific pedagogical tools and more personalized approach with vulnerable target groups. Regarding the significant number of Romanies, multicultural diversity also needs to be taken into account. However, methods of that kind are still a shortage in everyday life of VET institutions. Another point that influences the success of VET is based on well-informed decision of young people before the transition after leaving primary school. The lack of strong career education before starting VET threatens fulfilment of vocational training. Another urgent topic in VET, which concerns many of the EU countries, is cooperation between educational institutions and the world of work. One strong element of the proposal aims at that area. The other aims are to foster the effectiveness of VET with disadvantaged young people via implementing best practises from the partner countries. The successful German career orientation program together with the supporting role of a mentor-like person supplemented with the tools of Risk matrix from Sotland and the methods of handling cultural diversity from Poland add up to the enrichment of the tools helping Hungarian VET teachers to be more successful with their at-risk students. The careful selection of the consortium results in a rich compound of various stakeholders of VET, including developers, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of the world of work as partners. At the same time, this partnership provides a working model for alliance itself and assures the representation of interests and opinions of all involved. The elements for transfer have been selected with much care so that they will be appropriate to be integrated in the changing system of VET in Hungary without difficulty. With the help of those VET teachers will have more chances to support their students in being more successful in their careers. In addition, detailed policy recommendations are planned to be shaped for better implementation and further extension of innovations. The partners believe that with their work they will not only contribute to the implementation of effective solutions in the field of VET in Hungary but the results will also have impact on European level on several issues.
