In order to widen access to career guidance and vocational information, the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Consumer Protection is working closely together with the Federal Ministry of Education.
2. Implementation
Strategy and actions (Please describe the approach adopted to make the reform work and any actions taken.)
- Level of implementation (national, regional etc.)
- Implementation (description)
The ministries made a common commitment that all 7th and 8th grades should visit the career information centres of the public employment service (PES). The regional offices of the PES invite schools for a visit and provide information about their guidance services and other information material. The ambition behind this measure is that in a knowledge based economy and a dynamic labour market, young people should deal with educational and career choice in an early stage, in order to smooth the transition from primary school (1st – 9th level of education) to secondary school or to an apprenticeship in the labour market and further to prevent drop outs.
Young people must have access to information, advice and counselling in order to enable them to make a self-determined choice about their future career. As parents often play an important role in their children’s career decision, an effort is made to reach and inform them as well. Thus the career information centres organise events for groups like parents, organisers of training measures and teachers. Information is also provided in foreign languages.
