| Abstract: |
"The present research report is based on the evaluation of the project
'increasing graduation quota - enhancing occupational capacities'. The model
project is an attempt to increase chances on a successful transition from
school to occupational training of low qualified young people. The project
seeks to increase the occupational orientation, the learning motivation and
practical relevance of education by establishing so called 'career starting
classes', in which the students are tough separately, supervised by 'career
start tutors' and attend two days of practical training a week. With regard to
the two main objectives of the project - a successful graduation and
transition into occupational training - the project in general has been
successful. 92 per cent of the students, who have been attending the whole
project have graduated from school successfully. Focusing on young people who
left school after the 9th grade - which means after the project period has
ended - 47 per cent of the project's participants (compared to 38 per cent of
students attending a control class) have started with occupational training,
which is a great success. However, the success of the project is limited by a
high turn over rate. An even more important limitation results from the fact
that the project has not been successful for particular groups of students:
for students with good school achievements and for female students the
participation in the project has been negative with respect of their chances
to obtain an apprenticeship place after leaving school." (author's abstract,
