The stories of entrepreneurs, employees and successful people are good examples for the students encouraging them to learn well and not to leave school too early. It reveals why education at school is important to be successful at work and in life

Interviews - testimonials are based on personal histories of successful entrepreneurs, employees and successful people and may be used as a tool for students’ personalized career guidance. Interviews highlight the importance of learning at school and acquiring basic skills which will be needed in the labour market.

I highly appreciate „ Video Gallery“ as it‘s based on personal stories which highlight the importance of learning at school and encourage students to complete their education. I will use this tool in my classes on career guidance and while providing personalized consultations to the pupils.

According to Gina BET, Training Manager at the Forem Institution (regional organisation for employment and training): “the strengths of the videos are the speakers’ authenticity, the spontaneity and credibility related to the speakers’ frankness and experience”.

I enjoyed the videos. They are good stuff to share with students.
Unfortunately, sometimes the section is a bit slow, and it takes time to watch the video you selected.

The gallery of videos is very useful because watching a video can be friendlier for young people and it’s better than ask them to read a book or a magazine. In addiction I find good to admit people speaking in their native language (with subtitles) because that may help the interviewed to be sincere. Then I like the choice to film different kind of successes people: entrepreneurs, employees and artists/free-lance. In particular I find more interesting the success people (3rd section of interviews) because they are the most spontaneous and close to the project and plan of young students.

I believe the videos are a great incentive to students to pursue their dreams while also dedicating themselves to studying. The speakers are all passionate about what they are doing. This is the true factor that motivates students to stay dedicated and learn. The fact that the speakers are representatives of so many different professional paths offers a diverse and multi-lateral perspective on what working means. Also their varied educational backgrounds and life stories bear proof that there is not a single path to success but there is an equal share of luck, opportunity and determination in each case.

This is an eclectic collection of interviews, with managers of big companies, owners of small businesses, doctors ... This shows entrepreneurship can apply to many different sectors. One does not need to become the next Mark Zuckerberg to be a successful entrepreneur.

Interviewing people who have at least the baccalaureat is a way to motivate students to continue their studies. The videos teach that life is long and that you can do different trainings and different jobs. Studies help to organize one’s thoughts, to acquire different skills. However, many of the interviewees come from general studies and that might be demotivating for students in the technical and professional studies. For these students, they should watch the videos with an adult who could direct them. Where they can’t find concrete answers, they might find opportunities and hope.

The commentaries are very clear. The videos are well-structured and the information about the firms, the trainings to do start a job and the required skills are well-explained. The pieces of advice are relevant and easily accessible to students.

Presenting this section with videos is very interesting for the students. The interviews are a way to encourage them to continue their studies because many of the interviewees succeeded thanks to a degree. It is even more interesting in the case of a person who first obtained a certificate of professional competence and then who has the equivalent of a Master degree.

The videos talk about individual path of creators, entrepreneurs and managers whose particularity is to be based upon a solid training. For each interviewee, their project has been built during their training. The skills acquired can be brought into a new professional path. For others, their job is considered as a purpose.
