Project Focus

The project promotes comprehensive, high-quality career guidance for students, while simultaneously strengthening support for special groups of students. Within the framework of the project, the SASS Career Center is establishing a new, overarching system for identifying the needs of these groups and providing tailored forms of assistance. The goal is to improve holistic treatment and raise awareness about the importance of equal treatment and the acceptance of diversity within the study process.

Project description

Project main aim: The main goal of the project is to promote comprehensive, high-quality career orientation throughout the entire study process, from enrollment to employment, and to coordinate students’ acquired skills with the needs of the labour market, while at the same time promoting customised forms of assistance for special groups of students.

Results/Activities

As part of the project, various activities will take place, which can be divided into three categories:

Training and education for career counsellors
At the faculty, we will organise and conduct training in the field of support for students from special groups for all career counsellors, so that they can work more easily and efficiently in the system of support for students from special groups and contribute to the promotion of an inclusive climate at higher education institutions.

Establishment of a system for identifying special groups of students and their needs for support
The higher education institution has established a working group that is forming an umbrella system for identifying special groups of students and their needs for support at the level of the institution. The result of the group’s work will be a document describing the established system at the institution level and recommendations.

Support for special groups of students
The operation envisages the organization of events or activities aimed at accepting and understanding differences.
