ORIENTATION PHASE
Questionnaire
Before we get going we will ask you to fill out a detailed Questionnaire and provide us with your Curriculum Vitae – these provide us with the basis for our constructive consultation. This establishes your resources so that together we can define clear goals and challenges for your EXPLO.
The questionnaire and CV are then discussed amongst the EXPLO team to gather initial ideas and options.
Individual Consultation
The first consultation paves the way for Orientation: What skills and experience do I have, what do I want to learn/experience in my EXPLO? Which countries, goals and options come into question?
Each consultation is individual. On average we sit together for +/- 1.5 hours followed by a telephone or personal talk with the parents to summarise the Orientation Phase.
This covers the following:
- Analysis of the questionnaire: What are your resources (skills, experiences, qualities …)?
- We define EXPLO phases and goals.
- From our extensive experience, we bounce off fresh ideas to explore diverse options for your EXPLO.
- We draft a potential time-line for your EXPLO.
- We review budget and finance options.
- We provide you with constructive feedback on your CV for relevant applications/internships.
- We keep an eye on your further education plans to ensure that application processes are taken into account.
- We provide concrete action points to move the process forward to the planning phase.
- A telephone/personal talk with the parents round up the Orientation Phase.
Fee: € 275.00
