How to improve the effectiveness of training: The school-work alternation projects

The school-work alternation project is a teaching methodology of the system of education and training. It allows students to alternate periods of study and work on the basis of agreements with companies or organizations available to accommodate students. Think of school and work as two separate realities may limit students’ growth. Knowledge and know-how are two sides of the same coin. The goal is to achieve a mix of these two aspects, beyond the idea "before study and then work". Students can develop skills to better integrate into the labor market. Work experience as the only training program is designed in collaboration with the business world. It is not, therefore, a simple operating experience, but a process that involves all players in the education of each student. It is important to evaluate the training and professional needs of the territory, you must create the conditions to create a collaborative relationship between school and territory. The objectives pursued are: • reduce the school dropout rate • raise the level of education • promote the connection between classroom training and practical experience • enrich the student's education with new skills, that are useful to the student in the world of work • encourage the student orientation towards career opportunities In this context, it is important to create networks of relationships between schools and external realities to promote job placement.
