Individual Counseling Sessions
The career counseling service offers personal advising sessions in which school leavers can discuss their interests and abilities. These sessions aim to highlight suitable career fields and training opportunities. The employment agency advisors help identify individual strengths and recognize which professions might be a good fit.
Placement of Training Positions
A key component of career counseling is the placement of training positions. Advisors access a comprehensive database of training offers and can suggest appropriate positions. Additionally, assistance with applications and the creation of application documents is provided to increase the chances of securing a training position.
Career Information Centers (BIZ)
The employment agency operates career information centers (BIZ) nationwide, where school leavers and other interested parties can obtain information about various career fields, training paths, and study opportunities. In the BIZ, computer terminals are available for researching careers. Moreover, brochures, films, and other media are available to aid in career exploration.
Career Fairs and Information Events
In addition to counseling sessions, the employment agency regularly organizes career fairs and information events. At these fairs, training companies present their career fields. These events provide a good opportunity to engage with companies personally and establish initial contacts. They often lead to internship opportunities or direct training offers.
Online Services from the Employment Agency
The Federal Employment Agency offers numerous online services. On the agency’s website, you can search for training positions, view career videos, or take self-assessment tests for career orientation. These digital offerings complement personal counseling and enable individuals to inform themselves about careers and training positions anytime and anywhere.
Support in Career Decision-Making
It is a significant challenge for many school leavers to decide on a training profession. Career counseling helps structure this decision by providing clear recommendations and orientation aids. Alternative training paths are also highlighted if the desired training position is not immediately available.
