Job-Action

Regular career fair visits are made more sustainable and focussed through an action bundle prepared in advance. The students are given tasks for which they can collect points and, in this way, come into more comprehensive contact and dialogue with companies. The results can also be retrieved for follow-up and analysed together.

What happens in a company? Touch it with your own hands!

This Reality Check consists of a hands-on workshop held by a company within the school context, as a curricular or extra-curricular activity. The special feature of this experience is that companies not only come into the school, but also bring in equipment or materials actually used in the workplace and make them available to the students, so that they can experience first-hand what goes on in a local company.
