The European Union has high levels of school drop-outs (with significant differences between countries), which in many cases are associated not only or exclusively with a problem of pupils' ability (i.e. pupils with learning difficulties), but also are closely related to social, motivational and even family factors that surpass a merely educational area. This situation occurs more frequently at certain levels, such as vocational training (especially the initial training), and training on professional certificates. The profile of students in initial professional training usually presents particular characteristics, which make them more vulnerable to school drop-out and which sometimes manifest in problematic behavior.This is because this level of education picks up a type of students that comes from failed studies, and that in many cases face learning problems, but also behavior and coexistence issues (school failure, low motivation, drugs consumption, violence, bullying ...). Furthermore, immigrant students at this VET level reach a high level of representation. In Spain, for example, it is situated around a 35% (for students 16-17 y.o.), adding other vulnerability factors, such as social integration, language issues, etc. There is a clear indicator when dealing with this group: 35% of immigrant students in Spain dropped out in 2018, in front of the 15.3% of the local students.The presence of students with these risk factors, and who respond to a profile of low motivation and who present behavioral problems, has a high qualitative impact in VET centers. This impact is direct on trainers, staff and other students, and can lead to a spiral of discomfort and conflict that greatly reduces the quality of training. Furthermore, those students are highly vulnerable and in risk of drop- out and an unsuccessful educational (and even) professional integration. We, therefore, face a problem that responds to a casuistic with multiple dimensions and that must be approached in an integral way.With our InVET project we want to contribute to improving this situation, by focusing on the development of a complete Pack of Resources addressed to i-VET centers, managers and trainers, and that would include:1. Specific references on successful initiatives developed at education centers to fight against conflict and pro difficult students’ inclusion. We would offer trainers and managers in VET centers with complete examples (in the form of video testimonies) where the protagonists of those initiatives can explain the contexts, the measures, the impact and assessment carried out.2. Guidelines (and recommendations) to implement concrete measures in the educational centers at different levels: from the pedagogical point of view, to organizational aspects, including logistics and models for the design of active learning environments, etc.3. Resources that would help trainers and managers at the centers to implement the proposed measures.Project objectives, thus, include:- To fight against the exclusion factors that lead young i-VET students to drop out of school.- To provide the VET centers, their managers, trainers and staff with success references and commented examples that allow them to transfer these initiatives to their own contexts.- To offer a complete analysis of a complex problem, in which multiple factors and dimensions intervene, and which must also be addressed from a comprehensive approach.- Create a set of tools and resources that, with a practical approach, offer intervention models at various levels: pedagogical, organizational, logistic, etc.- Contribute to a better understanding of the European reality in reference to school dropout and its causes, so that this vision can be used and transferred to other educational sectors.Addressing the problem of school dropout is a European need. Even if the contexts and realities may differ between the Member States, the problem is common. And in the case of the students of i-VET, it is clear the need to equip the centers and trainers with practical and contrasted tools that allow them to address the problem, since the consequences for them as professionals (influencing the quality of their work) and for their students leaving school (with unemployment rates clearly higher than those of other profiles) highlight an important failure of the education system.The partnership is led by Maristak Durango, and composed of a set of organizations experienced in the work with young disadvantaged students in the VET system, and includes experts, from public and private sectors, on drop-out and early school leaving, on the development of training programmes and ICT-based learning environments, and on training trainers initiatives. This mixed expertise joint together and addressed to common goals are considered the key factor for the successful development of the project.
