Transition from school/apprenticeship
During your school days
Well before they leave school (one or two years before their final exams), pupils should consider the career that they would like to pursue. They can find out about the various different careers in careers information centres (BIZ) at Employment Agencies and consider which careers suit their personal strengths and weaknesses. Pupils can also test out if a specific career really suits them by undertaking some work experience.
Often, specific terminology or specialist language is used in everyday professional life and, to make the transition into professional life easier, there is, for example, an online language course available to help with learning this type of language for working life.
After your schooldays
If young adults do not find an apprenticeship immediately after taking their final exams, there are various bridging measures to help with looking and applying for apprenticeships. Language courses often constitute one of these measures as specific specialist terms and language are required for everyday professional life.
During the apprenticeship
Even once they have found an apprenticeship, young people sometimes still need support to help them adjust to working life. Do not be afraid to ask for advice.
