Vocational orientation is part of general education at school and an essential link between the education and employment systems.
The aim of career guidance is to ensure training ability through early practical and systematic measures and to strengthen the students' career choice competence.
Vocational orientation is a joint task performed by various partners from business, the employment agency, schools and young people/parents. The successful transition from school to vocational training is a complex developmental task in adolescence that can only be successfully shaped together.

Vocational education in your adult education center
Competence and knowledge are of outstanding importance for the development and preservation of personal identity as well as for social participation. But society is being shaped more than ever by development and innovation. Consequently, the demands on employees are growing.
That's why continuing vocational training is an indispensable part of our program offering. It starts with skills such as learning ability and language skills and extends to qualification courses related to qualifications.
You will also find offerings for professional advancement in pedagogical, business management and technical areas. Events on cross-cutting topics that strengthen professional and personal skills round out the offerings.
Various training courses are organized for specific target groups - especially in the area of IT programs - for beginners and advanced users.
Especially in the professional context, knowledge is quickly outdated. The knowledge in the EDP area must be constantly updated. For this reason, it is important to be open to new things and to remain curious in order to meet the requirements of the job market. By successfully passing exams (Xpert, VHSConcept,...) you document the level of knowledge you have acquired. Expand your professional and social skills.
The spectrum of the Volkshochschule Wolfsburg includes diverse offers, such as:
EDP applications

Voluntary social year
This year, the city of Wolfsburg is once again offering young men and women who have completed their full-time compulsory education and are no older than 27 an opportunity for career orientation.
For one year, there is the possibility to complete a voluntary social year in the children and youth area of the Youth Division and thus gain insight into the activities and tasks of educators and social pedagogues.
The FSJ also makes it possible to usefully bridge waiting periods, for example until the start of a course of study. In some cases, universities and colleges count the FSJ as an internship when accepting students.
One place is available at each of the daycare centers in Vorsfelde, Mörse, Fallersleben and at the clinic, at the Bauspielplatz Westhagen, the adventure playground Buntspecht in Vorsfelde, the Aktivspielplatz Fallersleben and at the open all-day elementary school Detmerode and Westhagen, at the Freizeitheim Detmerode, the Freizeit- und Bildungszentrum Westhagen, the Mehrgenerationenhaus and in the administration of the Youth Development Department.
The service in the practical work is full time. In addition, there are at least 25 seminar days.
Volunteers receive a monthly salary and are covered by non-contributory health, nursing care, pension, unemployment and accident insurance. In addition, they are entitled to child allowance during their voluntary service in accordance with the Federal Child Allowance Act (Bundeskindergeldgesetz).The voluntary service is funded by the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMFSFJ).
