Expansion of additional learning opportunities at schools

The IT'S STORMARN network has set itself the goal of promoting and expanding additional learning programmes at selected partner schools in the Stormarn region. The focus here is on offering pupils innovative and practical educational programmes that prepare them optimally for their professional future.

The project pursues several key objectives:

• Promoting career guidance: through company visits, internships and mentoring programmes, pupils are to gain an early insight into various professional fields and make valuable contacts with potential employers.
• Strengthening digital skills: Special courses and workshops in the field of IT and digitalisation are designed to strengthen pupils' digital skills.
• Support with study and career choices: Pupils are supported in their study and career choices through targeted information events and counselling services.
• Project implementation: The project will be implemented in close cooperation with the partner schools and participating companies. The following measures are planned:
• Establishment of IT labs: Modern IT labs will be set up at the partner schools where pupils can work on practical projects.
• Organisation of workshops and courses: Regular workshops and courses on various IT topics will be held by experts from the partner companies.
• Mentoring programmes: Experienced professionals from the partner companies act as mentors to the pupils and support them in their career orientation.

Expected results: The project aims to better prepare pupils for the demands of the modern working world. They should not only acquire technical skills, but also develop important soft skills such as teamwork and problem-solving abilities

Conclusion: The "Expansion of additional learning opportunities at schools" project is an important step towards promoting education and career guidance in the Stormarn region. The close co-operation between schools, companies and the business development agency is creating a sustainable and future-oriented educational landscape.
