“Tying a tie is a thing of the past,” announced Sparkasse Marburg-Biedenkopf on its roll-up banner, to prevent any notions of a overly conservative image from arising regarding the banking assistant apprenticeship. It seemed the students in the Steinm\u00fchle 12th-grade class had no problem with that anyway. The local bank\u2019s information booth at the Rotary Career Information Day at Steinm\u00fchle was consistently well-attended. Banking clerk\u2014a career with many prospects\u2014and who better to confirm this than Dirk Bamberger (CDU), a current member of the state parliament who was also present and who began his professional career in that very field. <\/p>\n

Quite Popular: Psychology<\/strong><\/p>\n

But this evening\u2014which takes place every November at the Steinm\u00fchle Forum\u2014was not just about the careers of bankers or politicians. The list of representatives from a wide variety of professions was long: lawyers, business graduates, medical doctors, and dentists; the information provided by the psychologist in attendance drew particular interest from the audience. There are also other professions that, as usual, generate particular interest: Several people expressed interest in the German Armed Forces, though slightly fewer than in previous years. The Sustainability Management degree program attracted a lot of attention, and Pharmacy and Physics also drew considerable interest during the three discussion sessions. <\/p>\n

Finding My Way to a Trade “Through Detours”<\/strong><\/p>\n

New additions to the lineup included trades such as butchery and carpentry, represented by professionals in those fields. Christiane Harms, herself a goldsmith and project coordinator for \u201cTalent Scouts in the Skilled Trades,\u201d answered questions about whether the skilled trades have any supporters among high school seniors. \u201cAbsolutely,\u201d reported the representative of the District Craftsmen\u2019s Association, noting only that people often take a detour first: \u201cMany start something else first and then enter the trades after dropping out.\u201d The need for skilled workers in a wide variety of trades and the comparatively good earnings even in the very early years are often overlooked beforehand. Her advice: \u201cFeel free to stop by and see us.\u201d <\/p>\n

Homicide Division and the Press <\/strong><\/p>\n

A new addition to the evening\u2019s lineup was a representative from the homicide division, and many didn\u2019t want to miss the insights offered by this \u201creal detective.\u201d How does a pilot work, and how does one become one? That, too, was part of the new information offerings at the Career Information Day at the Steinm\u00fchle. Are these times so interesting from an observer\u2019s perspective\u2014or has the profession\u2019s image actually improved? Whatever the case may be, Carsten Beckmann, deputy editor-in-chief of our local newspaper, the Oberhessische Presse, was delighted to see a room full of people interested in careers as journalists and editors. <\/p>\n

Thanks to the organizing team<\/strong><\/p>\n

So far, we have not mentioned the representatives of the professions in human resources development, information technology (IT), and software; tax consultants and certified public accountants; and precision optics. We must also not forget the event\u2019s organizing team, consisting of Dr. Claudia R\u00f6der, who is responsible for career guidance at Steinm\u00fchle, and Hans-Heinrich B\u00e4hr from the Rotary Club Marburg-Schloss, who is in charge of the career information service. Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer thanked both of them for their reliable preparation with a small gift. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Valuable for navigation”<\/strong><\/p>\n

As always, we caught a few comments from the students after the event: \u201cI had a lot of ideas and expectations about certain careers, but now I can assess everything more realistically. This event is very valuable in terms of career guidance,\u201d said Ivo Hamann. Comments from his classmates confirmed this, though they said they would have really liked to hear more about marine research. Otherwise, according to Elsa Stremme and Lia Kraft, it was okay, \u201c\u2026just more sessions and more time\u2014that would have been even better.\u201d <\/p>\n
