Service Description
If you need help in choosing a career or reorienting yourself, you can contact the careers advice service at the Employment Agency.
Careers advice before working life
If you are not yet in employment, the careers advice service will advise and support you with questions about choosing a career and course of study.
You have already left school or are about to do so and are therefore faced with the challenge of finding a career that matches your wishes, abilities and interests. You are faced with many questions. Careers advice will help you find answers and support you in the process:
- Clarify questions about career or study content,
- obtain information on the training or job market,
- take a career or study choice test,
- find a suitable profession or course of study,
- find a training position,
- clarify questions about the application,
- find alternatives to the desired occupation if the training position does not work out immediately,
- overcoming difficulties at school or financial hurdles during training
The personal advisory service is supported by online services.
Even if you are considering changing your training or field of study or embarking on a new career path, a conversation with a careers advisor can provide you with helpful information on the existing options.
The careers advisor will discuss your career aspirations, interests and strengths on a one-to-one basis in order to find suitable careers or a suitable course of study for you. Careers guidance can be followed by the placement of a suitable apprenticeship.
Careers guidance in working life
If you are or were already in employment and would like to return to work, the careers advice service will advise and support you on issues such as career change or reorientation, career planning and further training opportunities and their financing.
