Career orientation in Knetzgau: Speed dating rocks the disco!
An exciting career orientation event was recently held in Knetzgau, which opens up new perspectives for young people. On two days, Wednesday and Thursday, the “Rainbow” discotheque was transformed into a place of possibilities. Almost 400 young people from 18 school classes in grades 8 to 10 were able to find out about various career opportunities in the Haßberge district. This initiative continues the tradition of the previous speed dating, which took place last year in the “Kaiser” discotheque in Unterpreppach, and, with its two-day format, ensures that even more students can take part.
As np-coburg.de reports, the young people had the opportunity to get to know four different companies in 8-minute sessions and make direct contacts tie. A total of 50 companies from different industries took part. This diversity of employers ensures that students have been able to explore a wide range of career options. Matching cards that were distributed to the young people indicate successful conversations and potential placements.
An important exchange
Speed dating was not only a place to get to know each other, but also a valuable format that helped students discover their professional interests. During the event, Anna Wohlfahrt and Catherine Krines from the AWO Service Center also stood by the young people to talk about their experiences during the training. They emphasized the need to improve the support of trainees, which is often neglected in today's training regulations, as regionalmanagement-hassberge.de highlights.
The open job and training fair, which took place on Thursday afternoon, also received particular attention. This trade fair not only offered a platform for exchange between young people and employers, but also an opportunity to find out more about professional requirements and prospects. Such events are an important source of information for many young people, especially when they are considering which training or course of study is suitable for them. According to arbeitsagentur.de, training and job fairs enable direct contact with HR managers and provide an insight into the requirements surrounding applications.
It is crucial for young people to orientate themselves well in this phase of their career planning. If you are unsure, you are even advised to be accompanied by parents or other people you trust. The event in Knetzgau represented a significant step into future career paths and will certainly encourage many of the young people taking part to make the right decisions.
