Job coaching and career service

A work placement is an integral part of our training programmes which last several years. Depending on the course, you as a GPB College student have the opportunity to put your theoretical knowledge into practice and gain important work experience over a period of three to ten months.

Finding an internship usually involves a professional and extensive search. You have to search the web, maintain and establish new networks and feed online portals with your own data.

Our Job Coach supports you in your search for an internship and also takes over the supervision during the internship. The Job Coach looks after the students before the start of the internship, gives tips and can assist with the application process at any time and also arrange internship placements. During the internship, the Job Coach supports the students by visiting the internship host company on a school day and usually once a month. He helps you to cope better with the seriousness of life on the job and, together with the subject teachers, coaches you specifically in special subject topics, for example in the areas of business correspondence, communication, team skills, conflict and possible solutions.

We offer you a personal career assistant to prepare you for the internship and for your subsequent job application. Working together with our partner, GPB, we have developed an online coaching tool in the form of a Moodle course that provides you with targeted support on your path to career success. Together with your Job Coach and class teacher, you define your personal goals, promote your strengths and work on your weaknesses. Your access to the career assistant provides you with a professional, web-based application, placement and communication platform.

Of course, your Job Coach will also be at your side after you have successfully completed your training programme and, if necessary, will support you on your way to starting your professional future.
