Percorsi di orientamento per il post diploma: vissuti e considerazioni degli studenti della quinta superiore

The contribution presents the results obtained from a qualitative research that involved 34 students from five upper secondary schools in the province of Sassari. The students took part in focus groups that dealt with themes such as the transition from upper secondary school to university and/or to the labour market. During the focus groups, the students described the difficulties they encountered during this transition and the support they received from school, family and friends. The students’ thoughts, in line with the prospects for research “Student Voice”, help to understand in what ways schools can make improvements in the orientation process and in sustaining students during the difficult decision-making process post graduation
