Osterode youth workshop: nine secondary school qualifications and big plans!

Osterode am Harz, Deutschland - The handover of the youth workshop in Osterode took place in a solemn framework yesterday. Mayor Jens Augat did not miss the opportunity to congratulate the youngsters and to emphasize the importance of this important facility. "The youth workshop is an essential step for the development of young people," he emphasized at the event.

The joy of the success of the participants was supported by Imad Omeirrat, the head of the youth workshop. He proudly presented the impressive numbers of the past three years: in 2023, six young people took part in the program, which led to a secondary school leaving certificate. In 2024, the number of participants was increased to 14, with five secondary school qualifications. In 2025, the trend continues to be positive, and 20 participants gained nine secondary school qualifications. This development illustrates how important the youth workshop is for the individual promotion of young people.

a strong foundation for the future

The youth workshop pursues the goal of creating support, self -confidence and perspectives for young people. The measures include testing in different professional fields such as wood, construction, metal or electrical engineering, as well as media education. This is done in a protected framework that offers the participants a safe environment for their professional orientation and personal development.

The institution is in the sponsorship of the city of Osterode am Harz and places great emphasis on social stabilization. Through cooperations with partners from areas such as warehouse/logistics, retail and care, young people also have the opportunity to acquire key qualifications. The preparation for the labor market and the catching up of school qualifications for non -students, which is central to everyday work, is particularly important.

future projects and commitment

In the context of the certificate handover, exciting future projects were also presented. The youth workshop is planning to purchase a children's railway for events in which the young people are to be actively involved in building and operating. In addition, further manual projects and experience educational offers are being planned. This commitment not only enables the participants to learn practical skills, but also promote mutual respect and structure with each other.

The youth workshop in Osterode has established itself as a valuable institution that not only offers young people a professional perspective, but also supports them in their social and personal development. A look into the future shows that the work here is far from over and many new chances are waiting for young people.
