ABOUT THE PROJECT
This project will be an opportunity to guide students
to identify their capabilities and skills and will help the
organizations establish a guidance methodology.
Most of the students who are on the edge of selecting their
ways for their future education are unsure and indecisive
about which occupation to choose and which school offers the
best options. Sometimes, the Vocational Guidance they
receive is inadequate; therefore, they don't know which career
opportunities they have in front of them. Any wrong decision
that they could take could affect their Life Long Learning
Process negatively. To avoid such situations, this project aims
to develop a methodology to guide students through a wide
range of opportunities for their further Vocational and/or
Educational Training.
