School project inspires primary school students for the craft in Lauterbach!

Lauterbach, Deutschland - The Vogelsberg School in Lauterbach was all about vocational training when the Hessian Minister of Culture, Education and Opportunities, Armin Schwarz attended school today. As part of the project "Dreiklang: primary school meets vocational school and craft", a significant step was taken to inspire the young students for craft professions. "It is important to lay the foundations for professional orientation in primary school," said Schwarz. This project, which combines the Vogelsberg School, the Gudrun-Frewewang School and the Vogelsberg district craftsmanship, pursues exactly this goal.

As it is in the press release of hessen.de , the elementary school students now provide practical insights into areas such as wood technology, metal technology and nutrition. This practical experience is supported not only by vocational students, but also by training ambassadors who act as mentors. Michael Busold, Managing Director of the district craftsmanship, emphasizes the importance of this early professional orientation for the children that opens the doors for a variety of craftsmanship.

The role of craft

Martin Rahner, the deputy headmaster of the Vogelsberg School, explained the responsibility of the trainees who act not only as a teacher in this project, but also as role models. Heike Dietz, headmistress of the Gudrun Frewewang School, emphasizes the advantages of the craft for elementary school students, including promoting practical thinking and problem-solving strategies. "The craft not only brings tangible skills with it, but also good earning opportunities," she adds and thus alludes to the attractive labor market situation that offer professions such as Maurer, Zimmerer or Betonbauer, such as Education.de

The possibility of further or further education, be it through technician courses or studying, can also increase the earning opportunities in these professions. "Early insights and experiences are crucial to correct the course for the professional future," said the minister. This underpins the relevance of a well -founded professional orientation that helps the students explore their strengths and make important decisions for the future.

professional orientation at school

The initiative for career orientation is not only limited to craft professions. Different materials and projects are available to teachers to make it easier for the students to choose their profession. According to bildungsserver.de , everyday teaching materials such as plan games, apps and digital content can be integrated into school lessons in order to train the application skills of the students.

In a period in which practical skills are increasingly in demand, the project in Lauterbach is a wonderful example of how education, practice and manual skills can be effectively connected. Minister Schwarz praised the initiative as an important step towards closer cooperation between primary schools and vocational schools in Hesse in order to prepare the next generation for the challenges of the labor market.
