Jobfuxe support Alzeyer young people on their way to their dream job!

In the heart of Rhineland-Palatinate, more precisely in Alzey and Wörrstadt, a dedicated team is committed to providing young people with career orientation. The “Jobfüxe” initiative supports students of all ages in finding internships and preparing their application documents. As kreis-alzey-worms.de reports, the social educators Hammen and Meves are already practicing job interviews with the students at the end of the 7th grade young people to prepare them optimally for their future. From the 8th grade onwards, there is more individual support, where topics such as employment contracts and labor law are discussed.

What makes your work so special? The Jobfuxe make sure that no child is lost, especially those who need additional support. A comprehensive support network is created in cooperation with teachers and through weekly exchanges with career advisors from the employment agency. As a rule, around 120 students per school are supported in their vocational training, with further support being provided as required.

Individualized support and practical experiences

The young people show great interest in the offers for finding internships, which makes career planning much easier. A large number of internships are seen as crucial for a later career choice. The job guides carefully introduce the students to various professional fields and visit them during their internships to give direct feedback. This happens not only on site, but also during visits to Alzey city center and the industrial area.

A special highlight is the organization of the “Career Orientation Week” for grades 8 to 10 in Alzey, where various companies present their activities. The job guides also prepare the students for the upcoming visits to the career information fair (BIM) in Alzey and Mainz. In Wörrstadt, the company visits are designed to be more mobile; the visits extend to Alzey-Worms and Mainz-Bingen. An interesting innovation is a visit to the Maker Space in Mainz, where modern technologies can be tried out.

Technological challenges and innovative solutions

However, the work also comes with challenges. Many apprenticeships do not match students' requirements, and the lack of accessible resources, such as computers, is a major hurdle. Since many students do not have access to a PC at home, they use the school computers under supervision, where they are trained in common programs for creating applications.

The initiative is funded by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitalization and the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+). This ensures that the job assistants can continue to do the valuable work that they do for the young people.

There are exciting developments in education in other parts of the world too. For example, according to trustpilot.com, ThriftBooks Global LLC is the largest independent online seller of new and used books in the world, recognized in 2025 for excellent customer service, and has an incredible selection of 19 million titles. This shows the importance of access to education and information, which is important in many professions.

Overall, it can be seen that the career orientation of young people in Alzey and Wörrstadt is growing in numbers and the initiatives are continuing to develop. The work of the Jobfuxe is an important component in supporting young people on their way into the job market and offering them the best opportunities for their future.
