Ready for the job

Startklar zum Beruf

A cooperation project with Frauenbetriebe e.V.

“Startklar zum Beruf” addressed young women (up to 25 years) without a job training opportunity or a job. It was carried out in cooperation with Frauenbetriebe e.V. (now jumpp e.V.). The training departed from the creative potential of the women in order to develop a professional perspective. Counselling and application trainings were part of the offer.
In the training, the use of new media, theatre and photography motivated the participants and lead to unique “products”. Presenting themselves and this product helped strengthening their self-esteem, and allowed for a better self-assessment of their competences. Supported by a professional counsellor, the participants learned to organise, improved their ability to work in a team, and practiced conflict and time management. Informational events provided knowledge on different professions, ways of vocational education, and ways of researching job positions or vocational training opportunities. Participants were also supported by individual counselling sessions and – if needed – psychosocial advice. The main goal of the project was: to foster clarity, open-mindedness and maturity, and to help women develop a perspective on which to act on their way into working life.

“Startklar zum Beruf” was awarded the first prize of “Weiterbildung Innovativ 2009”

Project duration: 2008-2009
