Vocational orientation is part of general education at school and an essential link between the education and employment systems.
The aim of career guidance is to ensure training ability through early practical and systematic measures and to strengthen the students' career choice competence.
Vocational orientation is a joint task performed by various partners from business, the employment agency, schools and young people/parents. The successful transition from school to vocational training is a complex developmental task in adolescence that can only be successfully shaped together.
