Parents continue to have a decisive influence on the career orientation of their own children. In order to attract young people to the machine building industry, it seems promising to involve parents.

The growing complexity and lack of clarity in education and training paths, as well as changes in the world of work, are making personal orientation and decision-making increasingly difficult. Many young people - but also their parents - feel a growing fear of making a supposedly wrong decision.

Parents continue to have a major influence on their children's career orientation and decision-making process. However, they perceive this influence differently. Reasons for this can be ignorance, increased ambition, but also excessive demands, lack of advice or helplessness. It is important to identify suitable offers to support and encourage parents to accept their role in the orientation and decision-making process of their children. The main goal is to promote the individual development of young people.

Short impulse lectures are planned as part of the program, in which approaches to successful parental work will be presented from the perspective of the Institute of the German Economy (IW) and GEA Westfalia Separator Group GmbH. However, the main focus will be on the exchange between the participants. There are many questions to be clarified, for example:
  • How can companies, especially small and medium-sized companies from the mechanical and plant engineering sector, involve parents in career orientation?
  • Which approaches and offers have proved particularly successful in supporting parents in choosing a career?
  • How can companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector learn from each other?
Contribute your questions on the topic and exchange your thoughts with colleagues from other member companies and with the speakers. We look forward to an intensive exchange of experiences.

The event is aimed at specialists and managers from the areas of training, human resources and management.
