|
Definition:
"Deepened Career Orientation" describes projects motivated by labour market policies and sociopolitical influences, which facilitate the transition from school to a job or to academia through selective measures. These projects mainly address graduates from general secondary schools or grammar schools.
Legal basis: §33 SGB III
Commitment of ISPA consult:
ISPA consult gets involved with "Deepened Career Orientation" (DCO) for sociopolitical reasons. The risks resulting from wrong career choices, which are reflected in high drop-out rates in the dual system of occupational training as well as in courses of study at university-level institutions, are to be decreased through improved information and communication.
DCO individual projects of ISPA consult:
- "Deepened Career Orientation" for general secondary school graduates; evaluation on behalf of Jugendhaus Stuttgart (2007)
- "Deepened Career Orientation" for grammar school pupils; planning, execution and evaluation on behalf of Agentur für Arbeit Stuttgart (2008/2009)
Standard procedure for grammar school pupils of the 11th, 12th and 13th grade:
- preparations together with the pupils of the participating grammar schools
- action day with 25-30 pupils at the participating grammar schools with experts from educational institutions (universities, universities of applied sciences, universities of cooperative education) and three companies
- review of the action day at the grammar schools
Performance review:
According to the first evaluation reports of the participants, the ongoing "Deepened Career Orientation" project is very successful. The requests from grammar schools exceed the available resources.
