How it works
The aim of the project is to create a better and more efficient way to do career guidance in schools, particularly with youths between 13 and 17 years old. Recognizing the difficulties that schools have to engage students in career guidance, or the lack of efficient procedures to provide career guidance in schools across Europe, with particular focus on southern European countries, the project aimed to create and provide updated and effective career guidance program and tools, that could help fill that gap.
The objectives of the project were the following:
- Develop an innovative career guidance methodology for students between 13 and 17 years, that would improve and expand the reach of conventional career guidance practices, centered around a web-based, gamified platform, developed to be the main tool and resource hub;
- Engage and support school psychologists, teachers and parents/caregivers on their respective roles in students’ career guidance process, accordingly with our vision;
- Create a database of multimedia resources relevant for career guidance.

Reasons for Success
From a localized, microsystemic, perspective, the project addressed the need that professional such as school psychologists, as well as teachers, have of effective tools, materials, and methods to help their students develop the necessary skills to consistently plan, build, and implement individual career (and life) projects. Ultimately, the project contributes to prevent early school leaving, poor qualifications and inherent societal problems.
