“Only you know what career is right for you.” – The \u201cMutmacher\u201d team conveyed this encouraging and confident message to the 11th-grade class. The Mutmacher are members of a startup focused on modern career guidance, based in Karlsruhe and active in schools across various German states. Following their debut last year, the young people returned to Steinm\u00fchle for the second time to help the students\u2014who are only slightly younger than they are\u2014develop career prospects. <\/p>\n

The overwhelming number of options for what to do after graduating from high school is offset by a rather sobering reality: One in three students drops out of college, and 150,000 apprenticeships were terminated early in 2019 alone. To ensure that the supposed dream job doesn\u2019t turn out to be a nightmare, the motivational speakers recommended exploring one\u2019s own criteria for a dream job: What will be important to me in my future career? A lot of money? Social recognition? Plenty of free time? A fulfilling job? Regular working hours? Working in a team or alone? The team of speakers advised the students to first gain clarity on these and other points. Together with their own strengths\u2014which were assessed in a workbook and discussed in pairs\u2014each student had the opportunity to develop a rough idea of where their journey might lead after graduating from high school. <\/p>\n

Annerose Gl\u00f6ckner, the Steinm\u00fchlen liaison at the Federal Employment Agency, described the Mutmacher event as \u201cvery helpful and practical.\u201d \u201cThere is a path for everyone\u2014even for those who don\u2019t have a specific career in mind.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Mutmacher crew pointed out how important it is to develop self-confidence in order to be able to pursue the chosen path with determination: \u201cAt school, self-confidence is usually linked to grades. If you do well, you\u2019re self-confident\u2014and vice versa. However, the currency of the future is gaining self-confidence regardless of grades.\u201d But self-confidence also means standing by your own limits. \u201cThat\u2019s not so easy in a world where it\u2019s a breeze to put on a mask.\u201d<\/p>\n

The morning event with the \u201cMutmacher\u201d (Encouragers), who can be found on Instagram at @meinmutigerweg, was organized by Dr. Claudia R\u00f6der, who is in charge of career guidance at Steinm\u00fchle.<\/em><\/p>\n
