The project actually came to my attention, so to speak. I had been looking for exactly this kind of advice, but initially only in my mind until an advertisement for "Umsteigen statt Aussteigen" popped up on Facebook. What a coincidence! And within a few emails I had arranged a consultation.
I am very happy that I have found a great, albeit different, path for myself that I will follow in the future. My teacher training course, which I started in the winter semester of 2020, often left me in doubt and didn't fully cover my interests.
As I have already completed my Abitur at a business high school and really enjoyed the work there, I am starting a dual study program in business administration this summer. The dual study program provides me with financial security and I can enjoy the practical experience.
Practical relevance
Not only in corona times - financially secure and a concrete practical relevance by choosing a dual study program
The contact by email helped me the most, no matter what was on my mind during the discovery phase, I always had people at my side who were there to help and advise me! I also found it great that I was often asked questions about self-reflection, which I answered for myself personally. These have always helped me to free myself from a rigid perspective and really look at all angles.
I can only warmly recommend everyone to take advantage of counseling. No one who doubts has to stick to their current path and you get to know great alternatives, always with companies in the background that can offer you great career opportunities.
