This project will consist of an in-depth study on the VET preparation for future employment at the end of the school years, with accent on collateral soft skills needed when accessing a job: ITC skills, business etiquette skills and the learning-how-to-learn skills, skills that not always constitute a priority for vocational schools in the target countries (RO, PT, IT, CY). The study will consist in two parts, one will be a desk study and another a field study regarding the three types of skills tackled within the project.
