Volunteers Celebrate 10 Years of Supporting Youth Vocational Training
The Professional Mentorship Project in our city has marked a decade of supporting young people in their vocational training. Since 2010, it has been sponsored by the Hessian Ministry for Social Affairs and Integration, with the Employment Promotion Association (AGiL) acting as the project's sponsor. The organization ArbeiterKind.de has also played a significant role in supporting the initiative.
Over the past ten years, the project has seen remarkable growth and impact. More than 80 volunteers, experts from various fields like crafts, services, gastronomy, and social and health care, have actively participated. Their dedication has resulted in over 170 mentorships, providing career orientation, helping young people find apprenticeships, and supporting them throughout their training. Even during the Corona pandemic, volunteers have continued to support 26 mentorships.
To express gratitude for their commitment, the project thanked volunteers with an invitation to an organ tour at St. Martin's Church in Kassel, led by Music Director Eckard Manz. The tour was followed by coffee and cake at Café Nenninger am Karlsplatz. AGiL Managing Director André Franke took the opportunity to thank the volunteers, some of whom have been involved for over a decade. The project has also resumed interview training in general and vocational schools at the start of the school year.
The Professional Mentorship Project has proven to be a vital resource for young people navigating their vocational training. With the support of the Hessian Ministry, AGiL, and ArbeiterKind.de, the project looks forward to continuing its impact in the city, helping young people find their path to successful careers.
