The FAW gGmbH, Akademie Plauen plans to implement a practical consultant project at the Geschwister-Scholl-Oberschule in Auerbach/Vogtl. The target group will be students of grade 7 and 8 in the school years 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. The aim of the project is to support the students in the career orientation process and to promote them individually and in a targeted manner. Their strengths should be in the foreground and, taking into account the respective personal conditions, be specifically promoted. In cooperation with the practical consultant, the pupils are enabled to formulate realistic career wishes and to try them out on the regional training and labour market. For each, a development plan will be drawn up, which will form the basis for the offers and activities within the project and ultimately will also be the basis for cooperation with the career guidance of the Employment Agency from class 9. All offers and activities of the practice consultant enable individual work with the students as well as group work. At the start of the project, within the preparatory week for the new school year, detailed discussions and concrete coordination with the school management and the BO teacher will take place in order to reconcile the future tasks of the practical consultant, with regard to the school’s BO concept and in which areas he/she must be active, supporting and/or complementary.
