School Workshops
Believe it or not, I went to school too. And even though I started taking small jobs from a young age and tried to earn a little money for a book or a lemonade, my first real encounter with working life was much tougher than I had imagined.
After thirty years of work experience, including twenty years in HR and people work, I decided to turn those lessons into something useful. I want to make the move from the classroom to working life easier for young people - or perhaps simply easier to understand. I help them discover their strengths, show them how to use those strengths when looking for work, how to search for work in a smart and effective way, and how to build the working habits they will genuinely need.
In other words, I help schools bring the world of work closer to students so it does not remain just theory, but something they can relate to personally. I design these programmes for Years 8 and 9 of primary school and for secondary school students in a way that makes sense to school leaders, teachers, parents and, above all, to the students themselves.
And one more thing - these programmes can also be funded through the Jan Amos Komensky Operational Programme.
Programme for secondary schools
The programme is built around CVs, interviews, part-time jobs and first jobs, online profiles, digital footprint, AI and decisions about what comes next. Not as a lecture, but as a practical format in which students try things out for themselves.
Programme for Years 8 and 9 of primary school
We work with the choice of secondary school, strengths, first ideas about professions, motivation to study and contact with real practice. The goal is not to choose a future for children, but to help them take their first steps more consciously.
What students take away
A clearer sense of their own strengths, a first version of a CV, a short interview practice, orientation in part-time and first jobs, safer work with an online profile and a better understanding of how AI and digital tools can support their own development.
What the school gets
A modern addition to career education, practical use of topics such as AI, online identity and work habits, stronger student competencies and minimal burden on teachers. The school gets an external programme that speaks the language of today's real working world.
Formats of cooperation
Cooperation can be built as a one-off workshop, a career day, a multi-day format or a longer series of follow-up sessions. For secondary schools, a wider version for whole year groups or a programme tailored to a specific field of study and the needs of school leadership also makes sense.
Camps and BOT camps
I keep this as a separate stream from the school career programme, but it is worth mentioning. If you are interested in resilience, independence and practical functioning in the field, we can talk about this format too.
