A small-scale partnership in vET
‘SWiPE’ aims to reduce the early leavers rate among apprentice truck drivers and, in doing so, make other vocational training much more attractive for adolescents by addressing their specific needs, enhancing teaching methods and aids and promoting the value of vocational education as a rewarding and viable career pathway.
NOVEMBER 2025 “Strengthening Women in Transport:Inclusion and Diversity at SG Södra Viken”
OCTOBER 2025 ‘Technology & Innovation (Atlas College Genk) strengthens well-being and inclusion in European education project’
Project Description
Truck driver students who start their training should be able to successfully complete their training. Still, we notice a quite high early leavers among students, mainly among the applicant partner.
In Sweden, the truck driver course is apparently very popular: almost no early leavers and many girls in the course.
In Finland, students are re-oriented more quickly.
In France, early leaverst rates remain relatively low, with differences mainly related to the origin and gender of pupils and the location of the school.
Adolescents without starting qualifications struggle in the labour market and are at greater risk of social exclusion. People without a basic qualification also have higher healthcare costs.
