The Federal Employment Agency also supports young people in their choice of career and studies during Corona times. It has made various online offers available. This enables job seekers and young people to deal with the most important questions about choosing a career and studies from home.

Which profession suits me best?

The online offers are designed to support you in your career orientation. Perhaps you are not yet sure what you want to do later, which professions are available or how much you can earn in certain professions. With the help of the online offers you can find your suitable profession or your suitable studies. This is also a good basis for a telephone consultation. This way the employees of the Federal Agency can find a suitable job for you more quickly.

Here you can find ideas and recommendations on how to find a suitable job or study programme.

In addition, there are various free podcasts (in German) from the Heidelberg Career Advice Service, which will give you detailed information about choosing a career or study:

• Finding a training and study place during the Corona Pandemic
