Schools in Barnim show model function

Professional orientation is a central topic for many students, especially towards the end of their school days. Among other things, the initiative of education chains, which was launched in 2010 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim of this initiative is to support young people in starting their professional life and actively counteract the shortage of skilled workers, as the BMBF website explains: bmbf.de .

Various offers for career orientation

Different programs take place as part of the comprehensive ideas for professional orientation. One of the most important is the professional orientation program (BOP), which has been launched by BMBF since 2008. A central goal of the BOP is to support students in the 7th grade through potential analyzes and in the 8th grade through practice -oriented professional orientation days. The pupils can explore their talents and strengths, which is underlined by practical experiences in extra -curricular learning locations. BOP is aimed at all types of school, from high school to the special school, and also takes special programs into account by free educational institutions.
Further information on this is at vocational orientation program.de to be found.

In addition, different initiatives should also include young people with a migration background, such as Bofplus, which aims to make refugees easier to access the career orientation. The multitude of programs show how important support for the transition from school to professional life and that the responsible institutions work together to enable young people a promising professional future.
