In the scope of the Project, which has three main objectives, a pairing program called ""buddy system"" in which an apprentice student is matched with an experienced one in order to ease their adaptation to school and to remove the negative effects of the school over them. Another main objective of the Project is creating a platform inside the Project website which is called ""business connector"". Inside the platform, the people seeking jobs and the firms searching for employees are matched together after filling in some basic forms and following some certain steps. Some job opportunities are displayed over the website so as to make possible matching with those who seach for job and employees in which the apprentices are also able to get help while choosing jobs. As one of the main requirements of the platform, the ditigal portfolios must be prepared in advance by students. Relevant activities (Europass Cv preperation course) have also been done during the project period. Under the coordination of our institution, there have been four partner organizations from the UK (Bridgwater&Taunton College), The Netherlands (Roc Da vinci College), Italy (Fondazione Et Labora) and Lithuania (Kauno Statybos ir Paslaugu Mokymo Centras). All of the organizations mentioned are the centres for vocational training. ın addition to all the main objectives mentioned above, local seminars, meetings and various courses in which both trainers and teachers, as well as apprentice students participated were organized locally in each partner organizations. As a result of the feedback, reports after job-shadowing activities and quality assurance plans, it's been seen that important steps have been taken concerning reducing dropout rate, the students have gained another perspective in looking at their job fields after comparing similar activities in European partner countries and those who involved in buddy system activities have increased their own motivation towards their jobs. More clear results of the project will be observed and it is also believed that this project will provide basis for further relevant projects in the longer term."
