Description:<br />
Thematic Field: ESL<br />
The project "Stay on Track" tackles the issues of drop-out and truancy at school and<br />
also at part-time employment such as apprenticeships The project intends to bring<br />
together strategies and good practices in a innovating modular toolbox in order to: -<br />
counter truant behaviour in school and on the job - prevent early school leaving -<br />
improve and increase the quality of pupil guidance at school and on the job.<br />
During bilateral meetings, study visits and job shadowing partners exchanged<br />
knowledge and experiences concerning educational systems and policies regarding<br />
truancy and drop-out: - How to prevent, detect and remediate truancy in part time /<br />
dual vocational education? - How can we help youngsters to find a job in the labour<br />
market? - How do we organize student guidance at school? They illustrated and<br />
compared their specific solutions and approach by way of case studies.<br />
Partners developed a toolbox consisting of measures, approaches, questionnaires,<br />
manuals and good practices. They also developed models and templates to thoroughly<br />
prepare and evaluate work meetings and job shadowing visits. Furthermore, study<br />
visits were organised for policy makers, supervisors, inspection, school<br />
management and representatives of the partner institutions to fortify the regional<br />
network. The school partners compared their approaches using a truancy mirror,<br />
checklists for evaluation of student counselling at school, in the transition to work and<br />
follow up on the job; the trainers in companies were invited to share their knowledge<br />
on guidance and evaluation of youngsters learning on the job.<br />
Overall, partners learned more about the importance of networking between<br />
different levels of guiding and counselling. Dissemination of collected and<br />
developed material was ensured through the frequently updated website.<br />
