RETAIN Conference

Careers Europe Newsflash:

RETAIN Conference takes place in Gothenburg, Sweden from 22 to 23 October 2009

In most European countries drop out from education and training is a major issue. Young people lacking proper qualifications and exams have difficulties finding stable jobs and the risk of unemployment, especially long-term unemployment, is much higher among this group.

The RETAIN project is a 2 year project, funded with support from the European Commission, to identify innovative approaches to retention. The the project is developing a manual/hand-book for teachers, trainers, mentors and guidance counsellors and training sessions built on the manual/hand-book.

A conference to present the results will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden this October. There is no delegate fee for the conference (although delegates will be responsible for their own travel and accommodation costs).

Retain is a project supported by the European Commission's Life Long Learning Programme
