Education pilots help reduce the number of school drop-outs

500 education pilots have recently started to work. They help over 10,000 youths over the course of several years to graduate from school and find a job.

While they are still at school young people are supposed to become acquainted with and try their hand at jobs. Until 2014 30,000 school students will profit from this special programme which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
