PrevDrop

Detecting and Preventing Drop out from Higher Education or Supporting Students to Switch Successfully to VET: the project aims to equip student counsellors at universities, careers counsellors at employment agencies as well as the students themselves with tools, knowledge and resources that help the users to detect dropout risks and to provide or find adequate support. A self-reflection tool to prevent dropout from higher education and to support students to switch successfully to VET has been developed. The project provides a low-threshold approach to starting a counselling process. A comprehensive resource package, consisting of a training manual, a trainer’s guide and a set of slides, is available online. The face-to-face training within the project have demonstrated that an exchange of experiences is much appreciated by counsellors. www.prevdrop.eu
