Introduction
When a young adolescent decides to leave formal education, there are many personal, emotional, family, educational and economic factors that influence this decision. As a society, it is important to provide agile, effective and community-based systems to support and reorient these people.
Available resources
There are currently several resources available to young people who have left education. Although some of these resources seek to get the person back into the regular education system, others aim to help them enter the workforce with a specific professional profile.
Individual assessment
It is important to assess the specific circumstances of each young person who has left school. Disorientation and discouragement are common in this situation, making it difficult to make decisions regarding training and work itineraries. Guiding these young people requires a phase of personal empowerment, where self-esteem and self-confidence are worked on to make positive and optimal decisions.
Recovery route
Each person has an individual profile, so there are no common recipes for everyone. It is necessary to help them generate self-esteem and self-confidence, based on their abilities and ways of learning. This will make it possible to promote more effective and positive adaptations, either in the academic or work field.
Coordinated action
To give a better response to the needs of young people, a coordinated action of the available public and private resources is essential. This coordination must not only guarantee young people’s access to the necessary resources, but also encourage networking.
Long term vision
It is important to keep in mind that the professional world is changing and that a short-term view can have negative repercussions on the future of young people. It is necessary to look for solutions that offer job stability and avoid precariousness in the long term.
conclusion
Reorienting and supporting young people who leave education is a major challenge for society. We need to work on personal empowerment and the coordination of available resources to guarantee a positive and stable future for these people.
