Since the beginning of October the “Center for training and services” has been working on the “PORTAL - Support for professional development ” project. The project activities strated with a survey conducted amongst the pupils with dropouts . The aim is to identify 100 of them to be involved in the implementation of motivational and individual educational programs and other supporting actions which will contribute to getting them back to school in various education forms and continuing their education.

The interviewers went trough special training which took place on December 3^rd at the computer office of the Professional high- school for clothing technology – Pazardzhik as the main partner on this project. They were introduced to the project by a multimedia presentation and also together with the project’s experts went trough the various relevant topics for their future work – from the ways of diagnosing the reasons for these dropouts , trough the detailed acquaintance with the Instruction for this training and the Model for conducting the survey, to the familiarizing with the Questionnaire and supporting documentation.
