NINTH GRADE STUDENTS' PERCEPTIONS OF ADMISSION, CAREER PATH AND SUCCESS IN LIFE. CASE STUDY REGARDING THE FIRST DUAL VOCATIONAL SCHOOL IN ALBA COUNTY

Summary/Abstract: Choosing a career and career path is very important and difficult for many young secondary school graduates, especially since very few students in Romanian schools benefit from personal and professional counseling and guidance during their high school years or in the period immediately preceding the enrollment in the high school or professional cycle. In this sense, even if in many county events are organized in which each school promotes its educational offer, after the end of the admission process and enrollment of students, too little emphasis is placed on the reasons that led high school graduates to choose a certain educational institution. This study accomplished in a technological high school in Alba County captures exactly this aspect, while highlighting students' perceptions about success in life, counseling and career guidance, as well as the factors they consider to be determinants of academic and professional success. This educational unit was not chosen by chance, here operating the first dual vocational school in Alba Countyand among the first of its kind in the country.
