Portal is available as ICT solution with WWW interface designed for use for three main target groups: coaches, mentors and students.Developed portal is a tool for companies to help them find suitable young workers and students wanting to enter the labour market and is be based on a coaching and mentoring principles. The principle of the portal is as follows: company willing to find new young workers (preferably students entering the labour market) submits a case (e.g. problem to be solved) from their area to the portal. This case is presented to the students from the different places who if interested will try to find solution for that problem. Based on this the company selects the students and they give them coaches while mentors from the university or high school supervise the process and guide students. Coach from the company support and work with the chosen students who wants to solve the problem. To support these activities training materials (handbook/guidelines/toolbox) was prepared in order to show the companies, mentors and general public that this approach can help them solutions suited for their needs. Main project impact is connected with influence to potential portal users: students, enterprises staff and teachers. Student have an opportunity to learn about real enterprises activities and interact with coaches from enterprises which shall allow them to easier enter the labour market. Teachers can receive information about student qualification progress and actual enterprise’s needs which is important for further training activities and developing training programs.
