Choosing the future profession and the university to enroll in are important tasks for high-school students and their parents.
In post-Soviet counties, including Armenia, a significant part of high-school students enter a university every year right after graduating from high-school however a small number of those who enroll in universities find a job that matches their educational background. This means that the majority of students very often study for a wrong occupation. The reasons for choosing a wrong occupation is very often caused by the low level of self-awareness, information on possible education and occupation opportunities, and, very often, by the pressure of parental opinion and family traditions.
In Vanadzor, the administrative center of Lori region, there are 7 high-schools, and therefore, the number of future “professionals” is also high. In order to escape the above-mentioned problem and to enable school students to choose their future occupation on their own, we have come up with the following idea:
The main objective of the project: raise the awareness of education and occupation opportunities among high-school students of Vanadzor so that they feel empowered and able to choose their future occupation.
The project’s main target audience and beneficiaries: around 200 high-school students studying in 7 high schools in the city of Vanadzor.
The project’s main actions: to organize a training program for groups of high-school students that will cover the following actions:
1. Training on self-awareness - by proper learning content design, recognize own capacities, readiness for achievements and aptitudes.
2. Information on education and occupation opportunities - available or new occupation related information to be developed and prepared in a structural manner, so as to provide for an informed occupation selection.
3. Meeting with the world of occupations – organize meetings with occupation representatives, company internship representatives to ask, test and define if the desired occupation is in respect to their expectations.
4. Individual counseling on occupation choice decision.
