Options & Career Guidance – European School Karlsruhe

Career Guidance

The Career Guidance Programme develops specific key competences to facilitate the future participation of each pupil in the wider world of work. The programme reflects the Careers syllabus for S2-S7 pupils: https://www.eursc.eu/Syllabuses/2020-02-D-12-en-1.pdf

Career Guidance activities aim to assist pupils evaluate their individual strengths, weaknesses, abilities and interests and to enable them to take responsibility for their own future by researching, selecting, processing and evaluating information relevant to their futures after school.

In S2 and S3, pupils explore different skills and professions. In S4, pupils engage in a social work experience placement. In S5, the focus is on effective decision making; a Careers Fair presenting BAC subject choices is organised in December and pupils complete a two-week work experience placement towards the end of S5. In S6, former students come to the school to talk about their post-school experiences and offer advice to pupils. S6 and S7 pupils are informed of, and guided through, the procedures for applications to Higher Education institutions, taking into account the implications of their choices for future career possibilities.
