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.
