The Vocational Agricultural High School Group of Bistrita is an old traditional school which serves the entire county of Bistrita - Nasaud providing classes in high school (day time and evening courses), vocational school and post-diploma in several fields: agriculture, horticulture, food industry, tourism, economy and mechanic.
 

Its students, aged 14-19 years old, come mostly from the rural area of the county and also from the town. Many students cannot understand their needs and skills or they find it difficult to become aware of their professional future.

Therefore they need a very well structured guidance done by someone who knows them, who understands their social and economic status, their competence and the opportunities of the labor market.

At the moment, the trainers can develop guidance activities in the classes of form-teaching, with the help of a guidance operator. The guidance provided to the students is not well-organized because of lack of time, knowledge, tools or experience. The form-teachers try to guide their students as well as they can in order that the students should have a better opportunity to get involved in the market and find an appropriate job.

Our school has good relationships with different companies and institutions where students can develop working skills during their apprenticeship period in various fields: Sanitary and Veterinary Public Body, hotels and restaurants, auto-service garages, hair-styling saloons, food-industry companies.

This partnership will allow everybody involved in the project (students, trainers, guidance operators) to become aware of the tools, instruments, strategies and methods that our partners use in guidance, in order to identify those peculiar aspects that could be appropriate for the students in our school.
