Turkey
- Reducing Early School Leaving?
The activities in all Turkey increased the demand of the people to stay in education system.
- Reducing Drop outs?
- For better understanding of processes and cooperation within enterprises and companies?
The implementation of projects related to the virtual set up of companies, the active involvement of both teachers – through seminars and supportive educational material – and students through certain activities and interaction with the business world people, facilitate the better understanding of processes and the way companies and enterprises work.
- Support founding an own business?
The SME Development Council offers to young entrepreneurs support to set up their own business both through several programs of funding and consulting at a free of charge base. There are several steps to this direction, however the high rates of youth unemployment and the bureaucracy needed for founding a company, confirm that there is still a lot more to be done.
- Strengthening personality and self-awareness?
Career Guide courses have the potential to engage young people to creative activities and help them identify and develop their skills; however the fact that a few hours per week are devoted to career guide courses and only in the last class of lower secondary and the first class of upper secondary education has a negative impact to personality development and self awareness.
- For finding personal perspectives for educational and professional pathways?
The participation of students to Career Days, their visits to various companies gives them the chance to see first-hand the various professions and focus on the skills that each profession calls for. However the fact that on the one hand such activities are not that often organised and on the other hand Greek educational system mainly focuses on the knowledge and not to skills is a drawback of the approach and restricts the possibilities of broadening educational and professional horizons.
