Summary/Abstract: The consequences of the dropout phenomenon are complex and generate concerns about how to find ways to intervene from the part of all categories of specialists. Here we present the results of an investigation that highlighted the need for student counseling. Students participating in the survey come from school communities characterized by factors that can favor the phenomenon of school dropout. The problem under consideration was the opportunity to introduce and run some counseling projects / activities that would favor school integration and later the socio-professional integration of the disadvantaged groups. The results obtained support the fact that the counseling activities are important for the students. They have the role of transmitting information, providing procedural and emotional support to improve the learning difficulties of students. All these specialized approaches contribute to the adaptation / integration of school pupils. In the long run, these counseling actions are milestones of professional counseling and guidance opportunities for all students. In conclusion, these actions can be considered as a preliminary step in vocational guidance because they provide information on future schooling opportunities, access criteria in vocational training schools, and provide support for a decision to further pursue studies.
