It is an honor for us, that the European Union found our project worthy of support: the ‘Get more girls into STEM vocational training schools Or: How can vocational training schools encourage girls through the process of school-seeking’ alias Technogirl Project won a Small-scale partnership with Slovenia.

Our two organizations (Hungary and Slovenia) are committed to increase the number of girls in STEM-vocational schools, as they are extremely underrepresented in our educational system at that level.

As nowadays automatization helped professions a lot, there can now hardly be found differences between man-like or woman-like jobs.

Short summary of our project:

 

„Our goals:

  1. raise girls’ numbers in the two STEM VET schools taking part in our pilot from 2023/24
  2. raise girls’ numbers applying to VET schools in the 4 elementary schools taking part in our pilot from the end of 2022/23
  3. raise families’ numbers who believe in the successful end of a VET school study/practise.
  4. raise class teachers’ numbers having clear information about the role of women/girls in STEM vocational training
  5. raise awareness of STEM VET schools
