CHAPTER 1Description of the Project

EMOR Enhancing Employment Opportunities for Vet-

Learners is the worldwide issue for counselors andauthorities of vocational education who work in thefield of supplying youths’ employability. In every European country has an authority to deal

with youths’ unemployment.Within last decades;thisproblem is still increasing in all over Europe

Description of the ProjectEMOR

European Commission and Education Audiovisualand Culture Executive Agency take necessaryprecautions to solve this world wide common issue inthe field of providing work opportunities for youths.within Erasmus+ 2015 Programme. Another striking problem is ;vocational trainees do

not gather related qualifications about their specialworking field during their vocational education andtraining period. The crucial point is that;our vocational trainees

cannot have access to reach the labor market and getin touch with the employers.

There is loss of connection between the labor forceand the employers. This lack of connection causesmany problems for both sides (the vocational traineesand the employers) such as;

the employers can not find qualified employees intheir facilities.

Description of the ProjectEMOR

Trainees and students do not have a qualifiededucation in their formal education and training life.Besides, the vet learners do not have a directconnection because of vocational curriculum inTurkey.

The destiny of vocational curriculum limits vocationaltrainees’ future in their work life. The vet learners donot have enough time to practice in the industry andin real conditions.

Description of the ProjectEMOR

Vocational and Technical Strategic Document andCourse of Action 2014-2018 prepared by Directorate ofVocational and Technical Education says that: InTurkey; the local and national authorities are aware ofthe future problems of vocational education andtraining. The authorities in the field of Vocational andTechnical Education & Training foresee that; the employees graduated from vocational high

schools have many disadvantages while they aregetting into a job in the labor market.

Description of the ProjectEMOR

This is because; the employees could not haverequired skills and resources with comparison to theirequivalents from the labor market. European Comission has also priorities and give more

importance on youths' employability last years withLLP(2007-2013) and now with Erasmus+ 2015. Both ofthese programs Erasmus+2015 and LLP draw attentionto the quality of vocational education and training,also employment opportunities for youths andvocational trainees.
