Summary:
In-VET: Preventing initial VET dropouts and fostering trainees’s inclusion, is a European project developed in the framework of Leonardo da Vinci initiative under the Lifelong Learning Programme – Transfer of Innovation. In-VET was born from the concept approached by two successful European initiatives that tackle the issue of dropouts – The School Inclusion Project (http://schoolinclusion.pixel-online.org) and Stop Dropout! (http://www.stop-dropout.eu) – and it aims to support VET teachers, school managers, vocational & educational counsellors and all VET professionals to detect, at an early stage, trainees at potencial risk of dropping out from the school system.

In detail, the project will develop a toolkit to be available at an online training and resource center, including networking features, targeting iVET Managers, Trainers and Tutors/Counsellors:
Allowing them to develop skills to detect at an earlier stage trainees at risk of dropping out the VET system and to design and implement suitable strategies to deal with this phenomenon in their daily training sessions.
Enabling them to prevent the increase of earlier leavers rates and reduce the current rates by designing and implementing “action plans” aimed at generating more attractiveness of the iVET offers at their institutions.
