Knowing interests - showing skills

In 2011, around 55% of early leavers from education and training were jobless (Cedefop 2012). Research has shown that there are multiple reasons for early leaving. 30% found that the training appeared different to what they have thought or that the vocation is not matching their competences. This is due to the fact that people often do not fully know their skills and competences. School is merely focused on formal competences, informal competences do not play a big role but are as well important in the world of work. All in all (young) people do not feel very well prepared for choosing the right vocational training and right vocation,a) due to a lack of knowledge about their own strengths and competences and b) due to a lack of a resource-oriented guidance that is taking into account all their competences
