Project Summary

Our project ‘Bright Careers’ is about personality based career planning. It is really important for young people to choose a career and do a job which is suitable for their personality. Choosing the right job also means a happy professional life. Nowadays many young people around Europe want to have a good career which reflects their personalities. After some research and discussions between our partners we have decided to exchange the good practices about career planning based on personality. This exchange is also related with the objectives of our project.The main objective of our project is to encourage young people to choose a job which will make them happy throughout their lives. Besides, our project aims to make our students become aware of their personal traits and see the level of their self efficacies; help them learn about labour market and job opportunities in Europe; make them gain detailed information about their dream jobs; make our students be informed about ‘The Management of Career Planning Process’; reduce the early school drop out using effective career planning; and grow highly motivated people who do their jobs enthusiastically.
The partners of our project are from five different countries in Europe. The number of participants is 30 people, 20 students and 10 teachers. These teachers and students will be active in mobilitiesduring the project. Scoala Sfantul apostol Andrei Smardan is the coordinator of our project. They are highly motivated to participate in all tasks of our project with their experience in organizing many local and regional events. The teachers have certificates on preparing Erasmus+ projects and experience in e-Twinning projects. Escola Técnica de Imagem e Comunicação Aplicada (ETIC) from Portugal is experienced in vocational training and Erasmus+ projects. Ies Miguel Romero Esteo from Spain is the other partner which is also experienced in Erasmus+ projects and efficient at IT.The other partner of the project is Prof Nabi Avcı Anatolian High school from Turkey and New Cross College from Ireland which is for the first time involved in an Erasmus project.
Our project includes five learning-teaching-training activities. These are the implementation activities of our project. The first activity which is ‘Career Days Fair and Seminar’ will be held in Turkey. The objective of this activity is to introduce students with different job opportunities. ‘At Work’ which is oursecond activity will be organized by Portugal where students can visit working places and experience the real job environment. The third activity of our project is ‘Workshop on Jobs’. This activity will be
done in Spain and our students will perform tasks about their dream jobs. The fourth activity will take place in Dublin,Ireland and will help students understand the skills they need to have in order to impress during a job interview.The last one of the activities is‘Ted talks’ in which students will give a speech about a job they choose by drawing lots. All these activities are related with the objectives of our project and they will help students get a different pointof view about planning their careers. After our project is finished we will also have dissemination activities in order to enable other schools make use of our project results.During the implementation of our project, we have several methods to be used. Most of these methods are student-centered as our students will learn how to learn while doing the activities. We will often use personalized learning and inquiry based learning methods. One of our activities, Ted talks, will be based on game-based learning method. All the activities included in our project from the beginning to the end are based on Europe Long Life Learning programme.
The concrete results, ‘Personality Based Career Planning Guidebook, videos on Ted talks,brochures and posters, of our project will have local, regional, national and international effects.These effects will be able to be seen after the dissemination activities. Our project results will also be published on social media platforms and Erasmus+ web sites. We also intend to help any schools with projects related to career planning and answer all the questions about their projects. Finally, our project will encourage young people to develop and transfer their skills about personality basedcareer planning which is the gate to a wealthy and a happy European society.
