The National coordination project

  • Supports and guides the development of career guidance and counselling for adults
  • Is responsible for the coordination, follow-up and dissemination of the national action programme

  • Acts as a bridge-builder between different administrative authorities
    The aim of National coordination project is to make the projects and the different branches of administration behind the projects to interact and work together. This will be achieved through e.g. workshops, personal contacts, shared training and regional meetings.

As results of the coordination project

  • national and regional projects form a network and will be supported in their content development
  • results of the different sub-programmes and parts have been collected, documented and disseminated
  • the projects of the Action Programme are aware of each others' work as well as the development done on the European and the national scale
  • and also, the Action Programme has a strategy.

The action programme includes over 30 regional "Opin ovi" projects and 8 national projects: Projects that support the development work are ERKKERI and STUDIO as educational projects, NUOVE project which develops electronic services for guidance and counseling and includes also the research-oriented sub-projects, Laituri project and the coordination project. The regional projects aim to holistic regional guidance and counceling strategies, where guidance and counceling is seen as an important part of regional development in means of providing enough skilled labour. The role of the coordination project is to support regional projects in their efforts and also act as a portal between national (Ministry of Education and Ministry of Employment and the Economy) and regional level.

The national projects and the regional Opin ovi -projects all have the same goal: give more and better career guidance and counseling for adults.
