"I had no specific expectations. The counseling gave me the motivation I needed to climb out of the emotional hole I was in".

It is important to do a reality check. To ask yourself the questions, is studying necessary to fulfill my dream? What do I want from life and what is important to me in life? Life is not a highway that only goes straight ahead.

Acting instead of waiting

As a young adult who doesn't know what he wants to do in the future, doing is the best guide. While doing, you realize more and more what you want and what you don't want.

Martin (23, 6/2020, training as a production technologist, Lippstadt)

"Umsteigen statt Aussteigen" is a project of the Leine-Weser skilled labor alliance and the Hanover region, funded by the European Social Fund.
