Lisbon strategy aims at reaching a capacity of sustainable growth with more and better jobs and
greater social cohesion. Central to this aim is the need to have a more efficient career guidance approaches, focusing on the misemployment of tomorrow’s work force: youngsters. The Copenhagen Declaration (2002) also refers to the importance of guidance and counselling in EU Member States at all levels of education. With the transfer of CPT (Career
Path Tool), young people from rural areas, who often do not have direct access to career advisers, are given a chance to self-diagnose their predispositions, abilities, skills, personality type and numerous other elements that allow to shape one’s career in a satisfying way.
AIMS&OBJECTIVES: S2CPT project aims at developing a career guidance system which can be used as either a stand alone or a complimentary tool in schools. The student-centric approach of the S2CPT lets students gain more by means of online materials. The S2CPT project aims at enabling the use of CPT at wider regions; through providing counselors and teachers the capability for career guiding the young. 4 counselors, 1 school teacher at every partner country will implement the CPT involving parents and students in their schools, where assessment of impact will be delivered through questionnaires and feedback.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CONSORTIUM: The consortium covers wide geographical scope (PL, ES, TR, AT, LT) and is well balanced in representing different types of organizations; 1 adult education provider, 2 universities, 1 research institute, 1 local education authority and 1 NGO.
