The Role of Information Technology and Labor Market Orientation in Vocational Training

In the present study we undertook a dual approach to explore the vocational training level of Hungarian high school students in Romania: in the light of career orientation and career socialization (vocational training and career choice factors, intention to further studies and further education, overview of work opportunities, conception of field of work) and from the perspective of information and communication technologies used in schools (school infrastructure, electronic didactic equipment, use of ICT tools). Our nationwide, cross-sectional survey with diagnostic purposes, can serve as a starting point for further research, which is necessary for the development of vocational training. The topic of our study fits into the European educational objectives, because the examination of vocational training is timely, since improving the quality of vocational training is being dealt with at the European level.
