With regard to different conditions, demographic developments and changes in the participating partner countries the project “iVOC” will analyse approaches and offers for vocational and academic guidance for youth and pupils in terms of development, contents, didactical concepts and methods, target groups and access to the target groups, implementation, success, pros and cons, etc. to derive Best Practices and prepare them for subsequent use and transfer within the countries. Based on the results a profile for developing and implementing vocational and academic guidance staff with relevant skills, competences, etc. as well as approaches for developing and pronouncing them will be derived. Additionally, a network consisting of vocational education providers, schools, companies, etc. will be established and run on a long-term basis.
