Preventing early school leaving was the ultimate goal of the project "tune in! Combatin drop out". It transferred successful drop out prevention methods and approaches (ie competence and labour market oriented work based training, devolopment of social and basic skills, self directed learning approaches and guidance and counselling measures) which had been developed and implemented in the Austrian BFI production schools to 4 partner countries in Europe.Work based training while producing real products for real customers for the local and regional market is a powerful means of engaging and motivating young people, enhancing and enabling the learning process and preventing drop-out and reintegrating young drop-outs into formal iVET. Success rates in the production schools for young people entering the labour market, other VET schools and training and further education are high. The consortium consisted of 7 partners in 6 European countries. BFI OOE (AT), the coordinator is one of the biggest Austrian VET providers with extensive experience in integrating young people in the labour market (more than 600 trainees / Lehrlinge per year). BFI has established six production schools in Upper Austria in the last 10 years. The Association of Danish production schools is an umbrella organisation linking all Danish production schools and establishing joint quality standards and policies. These two organisations were responsible for the transfer. IFA (AT) was the internal evaluator.FMA from Spain, ISQ from Portugal and ENAIP Veneto from Italy are big and well established (i)VET providers and Ozara from Slovenia focuses its work on training and labour market integration for disadvanteged groups. These four partners were implementing the transfered products in their national systems and their own organisations. All have very good conntections to national, regional and local stakeholders needed for implementation.Evaluation of the projects’ success and dissemination of results were important parts of the project.
