Career Mentoring Project Empowers Students with Interview Skills
The career mentoring project, a long-running initiative in cooperation with local schools, recently held a 'Fit for Job Interviews' training at the Elisabeth-Selbert School in Zierenberg. This event, supported by the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration, saw 10 volunteer mentors guide nearly 64 students in honing their interview skills.
The project, active for nearly 15 years, has benefited almost 400 young people this year alone. It offers mentoring from experienced, empathetic volunteers who provide valuable feedback on application documents and personal appearance. The 'Fit for Job Interviews' training focused on helping students present themselves confidently and persuasively in real interview situations, preparing them for apprenticeship positions.
While not explicitly named in the provided search results, the project is funded by the Hessian State Government for Social Affairs and Integration. Though not specified, it shares similarities with the nationwide 'VDI-WoMentorING' initiative, which supports young female engineers in their early careers.
The career mentoring project continues to empower young people in the city, with the recent 'Fit for Job Interviews' training at the Elisabeth-Selbert School being a testament to its ongoing success. With the support of the Hessian Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration, the project equips students with essential skills for career entry, benefiting nearly 400 young people this year.
