We will probably need more short-time work again soon

Woman Nahleshave you ever used the services of the Federal Employment Agency in your professional life?

Yes, I have. But that was a long time ago, that was in the eighth grade at secondary school. We visited the careers information center. I still remember being quite amazed at how many different training occupations there are. At that time there were probably almost 300, today there are a few more.

And what career aspirations did you take with you?

Honestly, no specific one. Then I just finished high school. You know what became of me later. But I do know one thing: This career orientation is enormously valuable, even if it is only as a very first rough orientation. Right now we are seeing on the training market how difficult it is for many young people to find the right entry – after career orientation was hardly possible at schools during the pandemic.
