Evaluation of the Job Entry Guidance Programme in the federal state of Saxony

The Job Entry Guidance programme in the federal state of Saxony provides continuous coaching and mentoring for pupils with problems in obtaining their first educational degrees.

To conduct microeconometric analyses, administrative data from the Federal Employment Agency are used.
