The Siemens AG, the Berlin Institute of Technology, and the Beuth University of Applied Sciences are three strong partners, who would like to intensify their engagement in career path orientation for students in Berlin and Brandenburg.
Numerous studies document, that many students even standing just before graduation still don't know much about their choices for future jobs, apprenticeships, or academic studies. Because of this situation students, parents, and teachers are frequently asking for detailed information about this subject (Forsa, 2008).
Due to the obligation to integrate aspects of career path orientation in every school subject from this year on, the Siemens AG, the TUB, and the BHT are developing a concept to support the diffusion of information about natural- and technical scientific occupational fields. Long term goal of this initiative is to better connect the cooperation partners and to systematically intensify the contacts to schools, teachers, and students.
