MAPWISE
Rethinking career guidance:
the MAPWISE project
Choosing the right career is a formative decision in the lives of young people.
MAPWISE accompanies pupils on their way to mastering this challenge with creativity, innovation and motivation.
Innovative career guidance
with the MAPWISE app
As part of the project, an innovative app is being developed that expands the careers guidance process by integrating the personal network. Seven organisations from six countries are working together to adapt and implement the app in model regions in each country, both geographically and in terms of content.
The aim of the project is to meaningfully supplement existing standardised approaches to study and career guidance and to provide new impetus for guidance. With practical model tours and educational handouts, teachers and career counsellors receive valuable support to successfully integrate the MAPWISE app into their work and provide young people with even more targeted support.
Our goals!
Successful ‘interaction’ and ‘inclusion’ in career guidance.
The young people’s sense of self-efficacy is to be
be strengthened in a targeted manner.
The aim is to provide young people with tools to explore professions in their immediate surroundings and thus make them more visible.
The aim is to support young people in building up their own networks for their professional future at an early stage and in a self-determined manner.
Our planned results!
MAPWISE will provide an innovative combination of physical and virtual exploration that can be customised to individual needs and environments, making career guidance a collaborative process and environments, making career guidance a collaboratively experienced and designed process.
