A Second Chance with Lifelong Guidance in Northern Hungary.

The Life Path Research and Development Programme supports students living in a highly disadvantaged micro-region in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. Without targeted, multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral intervention, these students are likely to be early school leavers and excluded from the labour market. In this study, we present the first results of field research that seeks to break this negative spiral with a diverse system of career planning in a supranational, national and local context, while focusing on the individual person.
