Description Distance vocational and educational guidance through the use of ICT-based toolsThe project aims to ease the access to information and guidance (group and individual counselling sessions ) and employment general services (active job search, selection of human resources and job matching services). A multi-channel open source platform will enable e-guidance practitioners to deliver information, advice and help services by using different ICT based tools such as video-conferencing, e-mail, chat-rooms, forums, and so on.Decision makers in charge of educational, training and employment policies and guidance practitioners will reach citizens that wouldn’t be able to take benefit from traditional guidance. In a long term such a service could reduce management costsand procedures. The eGOS prototype will be jointly used with already existing traditional educational and vocational guidance services. Users who won’t use distance guidance activities will receive help and advice in a traditional way as always.
