What makes an educational platform truly useful? Very often, it is not only the strength of the original idea, but the way that idea is tested, discussed, improved, and shaped by the people who will actually use it.
This is exactly the approach taken in CAGEA. For the project, feedback is not simply a final step before completion. It is a key part of the development journey. The piloting of the CAGEA online educational platform is currently underway, involving teachers, career counsellors, and students who are exploring the platform and sharing their first-hand impressions.
This stage is especially important because it connects the project’s development work with real educational practice. Participants have the opportunity to test the platform, use its resources, and reflect on how well it responds to their needs in school and career guidance settings. Their feedback will help identify what works well, what can be improved, and how the final version of the platform can become even more practical, accessible, and user-friendly.
CAGEA foresees the preparation of feedback reports based on the opinions of teachers and career counsellors from the participating countries, as well as on students’ experience with the platform. These reports will guide the necessary modifications and adjustments, ensuring that the final version is better adapted to the methodology, format, and practical expectations of the target groups.
This process reflects one of the most important principles in education: good tools become stronger when they are shaped by real use. A platform may be well designed from a technical point of view, but its real value depends on how clearly it supports teachers, counsellors, and students in everyday learning environments.
The project also plans to collect testimonial videos from teachers, counsellors, and students after the pilot activities. These personal reflections will add another valuable perspective, showing how users experienced the platform and what role it can play in supporting career guidance in secondary education.
The final version of the CAGEA platform will therefore be much more than a technical result. It will be the outcome of a collaborative process that brings together development, testing, reflection, and improvement. Each stage contributes to a stronger and more user-responsive educational resource.
Through this ongoing piloting and refinement process, CAGEA demonstrates a commitment not only to innovation, but also to quality, relevance, and usability. The project’s long-term value lies in its ability to transform ideas about career guidance into practical tools that respond to real needs and can support schools more effectively.
In the end, the CAGEA platform is being strengthened by the voices of its users — and this is what can make it a sustainable and impactful resource for career guidance in education.
