Form 10, Progymnasium Altshausen

English abstract

In the following report, I will describe my experiences during my job orientation process and the Erasmus+ project “Fit for Job“. My biggest career wish is to work as an office administrator. Some information about this job includes the fact that the apprenticeship lasts three years. The required skills are: good communication and teamwork abilities, computer literacy and good typing skills, plus a good level of English spelling and grammar.

Speaking about my strengths, there are for example my Maths skills, my reliability and self-confidence. During the activities we did for job orientation, I also had the chance to discover some of my personal assets. My BoGy-internships were: a training period with Siemens Company and a social practical training in a kindergarten. I consider that both of them were very useful and helped me doing some progress in my career orientation process.

In the future, I plan, on the one hand, to do some more internships in good companies and on the other hand, a language course in England.

In spring, I went to the Italian city of Cento for the Erasmus+ project “Fit for Job“. The goal of the “Fit for Job“ project is to show us students how  job orientation and training systems work in different countries.  I can mention some information about the exchange week in Cento, as part of improving our work experience in different fields.  On Monday, we visited the city and the biggest company named “Baltur plants“. On Tuesday, we visited one of the biggest automaker companies, Ferrari, which was for me the most interesting day. The program for Wednesday was to visit Ferrara, a city that has about 100.000 inhabitants and a very reach historical inheritance. On Thursday, we went to a vocational school, where they showed us interesting things about the production of the typical Italian Parmigiano cheese, and explained us how the famous Aceto Balsamico is made. On our last day, we visited Bologna, a city with ca. 400.000 inhabitants and many beautiful sights. My exchange partner, the family and the other pupils there were so friendly and nice that I would have loved to stay longer in this beautiful city. Evaluating the exchange week, I can tell you that my socio-cultural and my language skills improved a lot. I liked it very much in Italy and my rating of the project is definitely positive. I have also learned many useful things for my future career, as for example, that teamwork is a milestone for working in a successful company.
