Career and study orientation at Internat Solling
The choice of the right profession or course of study is one of the most important decisions in the lives of young people. At Internat Solling,we accompany our students on this path in a structured, personal and practical way.
Vocational education has been an integral part of our overall pedagogical concept for many years. Our goal is to enable young people to recognize their own strengths, interests and values – and to derive a self-determined, reflective decision about the future from this.
Orientation begins with self-knowledge
At the beginning of every professional orientation is the examination of central questions:
- Who am I – and what is important to me?
- What talents and interests do I have?
- What paths are open to me?
- Where can I find support and guidance?
- How can I apply specifically and present myself convincingly ?
The answers to these questions are individual and they emerge in the course of the school years through experience, exchange and support.
Personality development as the basis of career orientation
The focus of our career and study orientation is on the independence, personal responsibility and personal development of the students.
They learn to critically compare career opportunities with their own abilities and interests, to develop suitable strategies and to formulate concrete steps for their life planning.
We do not see the Abitur as an end point, but as an intermediate step on the individual educational and life path.
Practical offers and targeted support
Career and study orientation is anchored in all grades at Internat Solling – in modules, projects and individual counselling services.
The focus areas include:
- Vocational modules in different years
- Workshops on application and interviewing
- Information events with universities and companies
- Mentoring program with former students who provide individual support to high school students
- Personal advice on choosing a course of study, voluntary services and stays abroad
In this way, our students develop the necessary planning skills to make their transition from school to university, training or work safely and successfully.
Accompaniment through experience and community
A special element is our alumni mentoring program: Alumni support the young people during upper school and, if desired, beyond – in individual conversations. They share their experiences, provide orientation and help them to see their own goals more clearly.
Shaping the future – with responsibility and confidence
Our career and study orientation is not an isolated measure, but part of a holistic school philosophy. It combines reflection, practice and personal support – so that everyone at Internat Solling can shape their own future competently, courageously and confidently.
