On the basis of the “Landing Strategy for Practical Vocational Orientation in Thuringia” and the ESF School Promotion Directive, vocational field surveys and professional field trials are offered and carried out as practical experiences for pupils. Pupils practically try out a selection of activities in one or more professional fields in the workshops and specialist cabins of the ÜAG gGmbH in Jena themselves. Vocational field surveys and professional field trials should contribute to preparing for training in accordance with the needs developments in the Free State of Thuringia and the regional conditions, thereby enabling pupils to make a well-founded decision for the choice of student internships as well as a mature career choice decision. The target group are pupils of grades 7 and 8 who are preparing for the acquisition of the primary and secondary school qualifications as well as pupils of grades 7 to 10 with special educational needs. In the school year 2020/21, a total of 303 pupils from our cooperative schools will participate in the measure at ÜAG gGmbH. We carry out the measure in the Saale-Holzland-Kreis in conjunction with the HWK for East Thuringia, vocational training and technology centre, training and technology centre Gera of the HWK for East Thuringia, vocational training and technology centre, Rudolstadt educational centre of the Jenaer Bildungszentrum gGmbH, Jena and the International Federation IB Mitte gGmbH for Education and Social Services, Jena.
