TESTIMONIALS
“Through the project, I received help in choosing
a career as well an appropriate school for it. The information obtained will
help me decide on a profession I can work in despite my disability.”
(9th-grade
primary school student)
“Before joining the project, I thought that due
to my illness, my opportunities for further study in high school were not equal
to others. However, with all the necessary help offered by the professional
working in the project, I managed to overcome any potential problems, decided on
a profession I liked, and found an appropriate high school. I got the most out
of the project in terms of my higher self-esteem.”
(9th-grade
primary school student)
“A path full of thorns is transformed into a smooth
one, so you can pave it with success.”
(4th-year secondary school student).
“Joining the
project is meaningful to me because if you have health problems or suffer
from physical disability, like myself,
involvement in the project facilitates a path to employment, as they (the
professionals working in the project) link you with employers. By joining the
project I have gained new knowledge and acquaintances.”
(4th-year
secondary school student).
“The project
allows us, the group of young people with special needs, to get the necessary
assistance we need to enter the labour market. I think the project is very
important because it allows employers, as well as society in general, to accept
us as equal to others with only a slight difference, namely having a bit
different needs. Personally, I have benefited a lot from the project, but the
most important thing is that it is easier to imagine a more secure and stable
future.”
(1st-year university student)
“For my 19-year-old daughter who suffers from an
autistic disorder, this project has been very good and welcome. Joining the
YOUTH TRANSITION project enabled her to be re-integrated into the outside
world, into activities and daily routines. She works with people who understand
her condition and the situation. While participating in the project, we have
managed to arrange a permanent home address and social status for her.”
(Student’s mother)
“Without the assistance of the professionals
from the YOUTH TRANSITION project, we would feel lost, as they helped us with
career orientation and the many steps needed to enrol in high school, and also
advised us on other procedures and rights we are entitled to.”
