The common factor of students; fail in the regular school and lot of other problems.
All have unsuccessful experiences of mainstream education. They have different kinds of documented learning difficulties and/or social problems and some kind of special needs. They do not have the ability to pass upper secondary school, but they have an intention and a goal to get an education and/or a job.

10. SUCCESS is a result of ”every day small steps….”
The most important work we do with our students is to encourage them to take the next step, and to not fall down! We do it every morning in the classroom, talking about the progress they do in the work placement, and give them ideas what they need to do to take next step! They need a lot of coachning!
