Article with the Abstract: The article focuses on The School&Work project (Programme: Erasmus+ KA2 – Strategic Partnership), developed by partners from Belgium, France, Italy, Lithuania, Romania and Spain. The underlying principle of the project is the collaboration across Europe between schools and labour market with a view to joining all efforts in order to facilitate students’ entrance in the labour market smoothly and easily. The article presents the project main objectives, activities and outcomes. The project aims at providing teachers and counsellors with the necessary e-tools in order to design guidance services for students and enhance their motivation to complete their studies and identify suitable jobs for them on the market. The collection of tests, which can be used by both schools and students to assess skills and aptitudes, the solid and reliable data base with aptitude and skill tests created in previous European projects as well as the profiles of the most researched jobs in the six project countries will definitely enable teachers to improve the quality of the job orientation services and experiences in their schools. The article examines the most recent project output: its collection of interviews with successful entrepreneurs. It highlights the role that examples play in choosing one’s career and explores the persuasive power of life lessons.
