Project APL in prison
Young people in (juvenile) prison have difficulties in reaching a formal qualification in VET. Although they get training during their stay in prison, the training is ad hoc and is difficult to linked to formal qualifications. When they leave prison, they have no proves of their qualifications or competences.
