Parental Guidance on Career Choices: Assisting Children in Making Profession Decisions

The Federal Employment Agency is hosting an event aimed at helping parents support their teenagers as they navigate the transition into professional life. Titled "How Parents Can Support Teenagers Starting Their Professional Lives", the event will take place on Thursday, September 11, at 7 pm.

Registration for the event is free of charge and can be done via email at [email protected] or by phone using the numbers provided for Solingen (0212 2355-290) and Wuppertal (0202 2828-460). For those in Remscheid, registration can be made by calling 02191 4606-345 or sending an email to [email protected].

During the event, experts from career guidance will present an overview of various options after graduation. This includes traditional degree programs, dual and trial study models, special training paths for high school graduates, and transition options between school and vocational training or university. Parents will have the opportunity to ask questions during the presentation and clarify their personal concerns directly with advisors after the presentation.

It's important to note that the event is not the only way to receive career advice from the Federal Employment Agency. A hotline for individual advice is also available, operating from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 4 pm.
