Many professions are considered typically male. Other jobs are often done by women. At the world's largest career orientation event, Girls' Day and Boys' Day, pupils learn about professions free of role stereotypes. On 28 April, our students had the opportunity to try things out and come into contact with exciting professions and role models. We wanted to know: where did our students go, how did they like the day and what did they take away for their future career choice? We asked around in the 6th and 7th grade.
Tom was enthusiastic about the architecture office where he spent the day. He was there when the team prepared for an architectural competition, made plans and was able to ask many questions. Tom used to want to be a train driver, now he knows: later he will become an architect. Victoria tells how she got an insight into the daily business in a doctor's practice. She liked the work there. Mirja took part in a digital offer at the Free University and learned a lot about biology and physics. Isaac, who got an insight into vertical farming in his father's office, was also enthusiastic. He was able to see the work of a human resource department and learned a lot about plants. Benjamin has wanted to work in a big technology and music company since he was 7 years old. He was able to look over the shoulder of the quality assurance team and experience the communication between customers and beta testers live. Now he knows even more that he would like to work there.
>After an exciting day, the students took home many new impressions. And now they know all the more that this is what I want to be when I grow up!
