VET Dropouts in Europe
Efforts are being made by the Member States to improve VET offers and its attractiveness but the number of dropouts from education and training, including from initial VET (iVET) stills high and is a matter of concern as it has impacts on the overall EU economic development and on Europe’s progress. Several EU countries are facing too many problems in implementing successful strategies to prevent this phenomenon as their dropout rates are well above of the EU-27 average, as such the case of Portugal (20,8%), Spain (26,5%), Italy (18,2%) and Malta (33,5%), according to statistics from 2012.
Having in consideration the structural problems that huge levels of early leavers from education and training without any qualification can cause, the EU adopted in 2011 a Communication (Com 2011 18 from 31.1.2011) that aims at tackling early school leaving and contribute to the Europe 2020 Agenda.
The main focus is on the need of reducing the actual rates of earlier leavers to 10% by 2020 and by that way increase the contribution to Europe’s economic growth and competitiveness, one of the major objectives of the Union. Considerable efforts must be put into practice to reduce the active population low educational levels.
The In-VET Solution
The In-Vet Project aims at developing a toolkit to be available at an online training and resource center, including networking features, targeting iVET Managers, Trainers and Tutors/Counsellors:
• alllowing them to develop skills to detect at an earlier stage trainees at risk of dropping out the VET system and to design and implement suitable strategies to deal with this phenomenon in their daily training sessions;
• enabling them to prevent the increase of earlier leavers rates and reduce the current rates by designing and implementing “action plans” aimed at generating more attractiveness of the iVET offers at their institutions.
Results• Online-questionnaire in order to identify young people at risk on time.
• Counselling guidelines for trainers, teachers, tutors, managers and similar professions in VET in order to support young people at risk individually.
• Online-portal with training methods for trainers, teachers, tutors and managers in VET to be able to specifically work against dropout.
With the In-VET results, the partnership expects to achieve:a) Increased awareness towards the negative impacts of iVET earlier leavers high rates and the necessity of combating the phenomenon of earlier leavers and of promoting strategies to deal with it;
b) Design and development of strategies, tools & resources addressed to iVET Managers, Trainers and Tutors/Counsellors aimed at supporting their skills development, enabling them to detect at earlier stage trainees at risk of dropping out or of failure and implement in their daily training practices strategies to deal with potential dropouts;
c) Promotion of the development of skills and networking opportunities among iVET Managers, Trainers and Tutors/Counsellors, improving their understanding of the phenomenon of early leavers and their competencies to develop “action plans” to promote higher attractiveness of iVET courses.
