Form 10, Progymnasium Altshausen

English abstract

Hello, my name is Jan-Philipp Schübel. I am a 16 years old student in Class 10 at  Progymnasium Altshausen. I take part in the Erasmus+ “Fit for job“ project which is funded by the European Union. In this project you learn a lot about the different career guidelines in other countries.

After having finishedschool I want to become a judge or a political scientist. In this project I learnt a lot about my strengths as we did a hobby analysis combined with a self-evaluation. I and my class went to the “BIZ” in Ravensburg, where we did a lot of tests with a special computer program that helped us to find out our skills.

The major activity in this project was our journey to Latvia were we had among other things the chance to improve our English skills. We learned a lot about the Latvian culture and the  country itself. All of us had a nice host family that welcomed us heartily. We saw a lot of sights in Riga, which is the capital of Latvia. On one day of this exchange week we visited the cities Sigulda and Cesis near Riga. We worked together with the students from our exchange school, to compare the differences between the different orientation programs in our countries.

The project is a very good idea to combine job orientation and cultural information about another country. I have made new friends and I hope my participation in this project will help other students with their job orientation, too.
