Goals

Problem statement:

Georgian educational system is very general and doesn’t provide school children with the information that will further help them choose professions. So the majority of university entrants choose educational institutions and programs on the basis of little information without much consideration. They have no idea how many professions there are and how to choose the profession that meets their interests and abilities. While choosing an educational program and enrolling, an entrant finds himself/herself at the university with educational process different from school, which is a difficult exam for most of the entrants. Also due to having too little information, after enrollment and studying for some time a person understands that the educational program is not interesting for him/her and that he/she has made a wrong decision.

Proposed Solution:

Our initiative intends to get students share information with university entrants. Within the scope of the project students from various educational programs and universities also young people who have already obtained an occupation and are employed, will hold interviews with university entrants (11-12 graders) and will try to let the entrants see the specificity of different professions. To explain to them the possibilities of the profession in a wider perspective, share with them the challenges they will have to face if they choose a certain profession, which skills are required for different professions, they will also try to help them choose relevant occupations according to their interests.
Provide them with information, an introductory course in various professions so that the youth has an idea on what awaits them. To use role plays in order to make them feel as a representative of a particular profession in practice. We intend to implement this idea in the town of Tetritskaro and also in several villages of Tetritskaro region, in particular: Toneti, Chivchavi, Manglisi…

Sustainability:

we would like to leave the materials purchased by us to the project beneficiaries personally, and to give the rest to Tetritskaro Youth Center, to make it available for all those interested.

Equal gender opportunity:

we want to involve girls as well as boys in our project. Also this project will be very important in terms of gender because we will try to explain to the youth that there is no “female profession” or “male profession” that both sexes have the same skills and abilities and it is only up to a person’s wish and motivation whether he/she can acquire a certain profession. We will prove this idea with our own examples.
