A VET school in Strasbourg (France) has implemented an initiative focusing on the students’ choice of educational pathway, which is an important factor linked to early leaving. The initiative gives students from lower secondary schools the chance to visit the VET school before choosing a pathway. The VET school liaises with various lower secondary schools in the region and organises visits. During the visits, students meet the pedagogical staff for an individual interview. They also attend practical workshops of their choice. At the end of the day, a debriefing takes place with pedagogical staff. At the beginning of the new school year, the VET school provides newly arrived students with the opportunity to attend an individual interview and workshops if they did not previously have this opportunity.
