Improving the quality of initial vocational training for target groups with severe learning difficulties

Objective

Many European teenagers with severe learning difficulties are unable to meet conditions for employment and, as such, face potential exclusion. To prevent a total loss of interest in training and promote future socio-economic integration, a growing number of teachers see contact with the business world as a way of helping these young people to gain employment. The project partners, who are intent on improving partnerships between schools and business, propose to substitute simultaneous employment/training for the traditional school-then-job system.

The specific project objectives defined by the school-business partnership are to:
- adapt the methods and subject matter of initial vocational training to take account of new approaches developed by various European programmes aimed at young people with severe learning difficulties;
- design a reference guide on young people facing such problems;
- promote the acquisition of marketable skills;
- combat the risk of marginalisation and exclusion by setting up partnerships with local authorities and the appropriate social services;
- design modules for teachers and in-company tutors and train education/certification programme decision-makers.

Impact
This project will improve the quality of initial vocational training for young people with severe learning difficulties by creating a simultaneous education/employment system to replace the traditional school-then-job approach.
