Tutors
Nefiks tutors - first job motivators
Most of secondary grammar schools don't offer career consultancy and even if they do, it is not based on information from work market and real facts. As a result, most students from these schools don't have a clear vision of their career, which leads to irrational choices for further education and ergo to unemployment after graduating.
In 2009, we started with a project named Nefiks tutors. With this project we give all young people support with their career planning by motivating them to think about their future at an early age. Moreover, with personal support and mentoring we fight against social exclusion. We do so by bringing special attention to young people from disadvantaged areas in Slovenia.
Nefiks tutors are trained volunteers who work directly with peers by informing, advising and supporting them on the development of their chance of employment. They also share their own experiences and give advices to young people, in order to show them the way to their first employment and how to become more employable.
By doing that, the project encourages young people to become more proactive when planning their career and also supports their personal development.
