Training ambassador assignment: Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium Leinfelden-Echterdingen

On Friday, 15.03.2024, I was on a training ambassador assignment of the IHK at the Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. There I presented my apprenticeship as an industrial clerk (m/f/d), my story and the company Putzmeister.

As this assignment took place at a grammar school, I was there together with two other training ambassadors and three study ambassadors. Together, we gave a prepared presentation about training and the (dual) study program, which is used throughout Baden-Württemberg. The presentation begins wth the various orientation options and general facts about training and (dual) study programs. We then refreshed the students' knowledge on the subject of applications and gave them valuable tips and important deadlines. Finally, the topic of remuneration during training and financing a degree course was presented. During the presentation, everyone told their individual story to show that there are many different ways to enter professional life and that not everything always goes according to plan for everyone.

The approximately 80 pupils in year 11 at Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium were able to learn a lot about our various apprenticeships and courses of study.

After the presentation, they were able to get to know our apprenticeships and degree courses better in small groups. For this purpose, each training and study ambassador was given their own room and the pupils were given two rounds of 15 minutes each to one of us.

Here I was able to go into more detail about the main tasks and the process of training to become an industrial clerk, as well as answer questions about the necessary requirements.

I am glad that I had the opportunity to take part in this training ambassador assignment and hope that we were able to give the 11th graders a lot of information and good advice for their future life and their entry into professional life.
