The GIANT Project The general aim is to support improvements in
quality and innovation in guidance system. The GIANT Project intends to implement a model
of guidance services’ integration that was defined by GIRC (Guidance Innovation Relay Centres) a previous Leonardo da Vinci project.
The application of GIRC model foresees three principal lines of work:
1. adaptation of the model to the needs and features of the geographical/institutional contexts concerned;
2. the sharing of support tools to facilitate the model’s transfer within the partnership
3. application of the model in the transfer settings
3
GIRC model www. gircproject.org Its purpose is to foster innovation and quality in career
guidance through integration and linkage among systems with different and complementary competences: the school system, the employment system, and the vocational training system
To favour this integration, the model identifies four strategic function:
technical support, understood as support for the definition of strategies of guidance governance;
support for the training of guidance practitioners, understood as support for the skills enhancement of guidance practitioners, both upon entry to the profession and through updating schemes;
quality improvement, understood as support for enhancing the quality of services by acting on standards, tools, assessment, and the integration of services.
research and development, understood as support for innovation and for the devising of strategies to develop the guidance system not determined solely by emergency but anchored in research results.
4
Each strategic function includes: the overall goal to be achieved by the specific
function; the set of objectives combining to determine the
overall goal of that function; a series of activities through which to pursue
fulfilment of the objectives defined; outputs from the process, i.e. products
representing tangible results of individual actions;
the actors involved in the various activities as either the promoters or the recipients of the specific activities.
5
GIANT Project involves: four partners which participated in development
of the GIRC model: two Italian partners, Aster and Ce.Trans; the University of Santiago de Compostela (ES); and the Institutul de Stiinte ale Educatiei – Institute of Education Science (RO)
four public institutions, which are centres for the transfer/application of the GIRC model.
They are: the regional government of Friuli Venezia Giulia, the regional government of Marche, the provincial administration of Milan; the provincial administration of Bologna.

GIANT Project lines of action (WP):
1. Adaptation of the GIRC model for transfer to the needs and features of the institutional contexts concerned;
2. Sharing of support tools to facilitate the model’s transfer within the partnership:
3. Application of the model in the transfer settings;
4. Project Evaluation;5. Coordination;6. Dissemination
7
State of art WP1
Every institutional partner has defined a Plan of transfer (that will be realized in WP3) that specifies:
• which GIRC functions it intends to transfer • which activities it intends to realize• which aspects of the context could facilitate or obstruct the plan of transfer• which different sectors furnishing career guidance it intend to involve (at least two among education, vocational training, work)
Every institutional partner has promoted the Plan in its area

State of art WP2
Every institutional partner agreed to focus on the career guidance services directed to users aged under 25 years
The career guidance’s aims considered are:– “Developing a vocational choice” (Friuli Venezia Giulia Region
and Milan Province)– “Supporting the transition school-to-work” (Marche Region)– “Supporting a transition among different educational levels”
(Bologna Province)
The career guindance practitionars that work in each involved area are contributing to collect tools and good practice
