KAE pilot project: Information officer in school

German-speaking Community

2
The key point of this pilot project is the appointment of an career guidance information officer in schools. This
information officer’s task is to gather the information available at the school, to advise students, to work with non-
school providers such as the German Community Employment Office or Kaleido-Ostbelgien, to develop projects
and activities in schools and to assist teachers with integrating this topic in their lessons. The information officer
coordinates all career guidance activities. A concept of different successive activities and projects will be developed
from primary school to the end of secondary school. A steering group within the school and a monitoring commit-
tee provide support to the information officer.

The pilot project started in September 2017 at the Royal Athenaeum Eupen (KAE) and will run in an initial phase
until June 2019. Thereafter, it should be evaluated and the decision made to continue or expand to other schools.

AIM(S)
