Interlinked orientation provision for vocational and academic training

The aim of the BMBF-funded pilot project “VerOnika” is to test interlinked orientation provision. The aim is for this type of provision to offer participants insights into higher education study and into vocational education and training in an equivalent way so as to facilitate an education and training decision based on experience. The article presents findings from the evaluation research accompanying this pilot project. These findings are the result of qualitative and quantitative initial and final surveys of participants which in particular reflect their own perspective of the interlinked orientation programmes.
