📣 The MINT (en: STEM) boxes are taking off! The RealityCheck Symposium at the beginning of October 2024 in the region of Upper Styria East was very successful. (See pictures). 18 companies, 15 schools (there are no more in this region … ) and regional institutions were present to exchange ideas about the #cooperation "Economy and Enterprises meet School" in a regional meeting. From the first contacts with four companies in the region and some schools some months ago, a network has developed in a short time, which will continue to be effective in schools, companies and institutions in the Upper Styria East region. The #innovative MINT boxes (MINT – Mathematics, Informatic, National Sciences, Technique – English: STEM), developed by companies, especially ba apprentices, are already being used intensively, with active contribution by the companies. Equally important, all participants are willing to participate in further #network meetings and continuing cooperation. 💥 This is real RealityCheck! #ErasmusPlus #europeanproject #erasmusplusproject #RealityCheck

Looking for a job doesn't have to be hard work!😉 Last week, young participants at Urkraft got to test a jobseeker board game, Hot skills, developed by FCV Sverige Hot Skills board game is a unique educational tool to motivate and guide young adults who are excluded from working life in an #entertaining and #educational way. Participants at Urkrafts FutureLab had a great time testing the board game and we think this will be a great tool to use in schools and a great RealityCheck for students!!🌟 #learningbyplaying #educationalgame #jobsearch #youthempowerment #RealityCheck #europeanproject #ErasmusPlus #erasmusplusproject

Successful RealityCheck Symposium in Berlin!   At the end of September, experts from schools, companies, educational organisations, and the Youth Employment Agency came together to discuss the future of career orientation.   We introduced our new RealityChecks from Berlin – JobAction, CareerCraft, and Meaningful Internships.   The discussions focused on the strengths that students bring to their vocational training today, as well as the skills they are still lacking. Together, we developed fresh ideas on how schools and companies can collaborate more effectively to better prepare young people for entering the world of work.   Thank you to all the participants for the inspiring exchange! 💡🤝   👉 Stay tuned for more updates! #RealityCheck #Erasmus+ #Berlin #SchoolToWork #CareerOrientation #JobAction #CareerCraft #MeaningfulInternships #VocationalTraining2024

Reality Check 👉 Piloting in Italy! Our activity "Your first work experience: what to know before?", developed with a group of young Europeans preparing for a #traineeship experience, had its impact!💥 The video with real-life stories from companies and trainees, and the group discussion about behavioural norms, doubts, and expectations we held together with #youths were highly appreciated.👍 This Reality Check proved to be an easy and immediate way to #engage with young people, capture their attention, and create a comfortable environment to talk about the traineeship #experience they are about to start. Innovative endeavour, positive results! #RealityCheck #erasmusplus #careerorientation #europeanproject #worldofwork #trainees #innovation #education #goodpractice #careerguidance

🔸The RealityCheck Network Upper Styria is growing!   This week, representatives from 11 schools in the region will meet with 18 representatives from regional companies as well as from school administration, training institutions and other regional #stakeholders in a #symposium "School meets Business".   The aim is to exchange ideas on what it takes to offer young people a timely insight into the operational reality of today and tomorrow in order to prepare for a good choice of training and career. #Innovative methods for lively encounters between schools and companies will be presented and new formats will be discussed.   This will result in concrete further #practical opportunities for young people – further meetings have already been arranged.   And, a few day ago hundreds of young people explored new ideas for real #entrepreneurial experiences – see: https://lnkd.in/d_ZdPeDk   RealityCheck for young people and companies is effective!🔸

Reality Check ✅ What's next? After the end of the Development, testing and evaluation of the 12 #RealityChecks created, we are now working on the provision of the last 2 outcomes of this exciting #europeanproject: 🔹 Manual and Toolbox Reality Check a manual to create more awareness of the possibilities of cooperation between school and the world of work. We want to create a more positive attitude towards this topic among teachers as well as entrepreneurs. In the longer term, we believe this will help students make more reflective career choices. 🔹 Modular training concept Reality Check a training concept that provides the framework for this and meets a contemporary, high-quality standard: contemporary learning settings, training methods, applied tools are developed according to the target group. Ready, steady... let's go! ✅ #realitycheck #erasmusplus #europeancooperation #erasmusplusproject #youth #youthtowork #schooltowork #innovativeoffers #trainthetrainer #trainingoffers
