Find your path!

Education offers you the chance to discover new worlds, to develop yourself further and to bring more satisfaction into your life – for the rest of your life. Educational counselling will help you with this!

The options for shaping the course of your life are becoming more and more diverse. Free and neutral educational counselling is important in this context. It should help support people to look over, and take advantage of, the many possibilities.

Counselling topics

Individual counselling relates to different subject areas, such as professional orientation or reorientation, choosing courses, professional development, taking school leavers’ exams, going back to work after being unemployed/on parental leave, financing options, leisure service or civic involvement.
