BBS II students celebrate Eriksen Foundation award!
There is another reason to celebrate in Delmenhorst: students from vocational schools II (BBS II) have received the motivating prize from the Marius Eriksen Foundation. This award, which promotes the transition into working life, rewards individual achievements and was created by the foundation to support disadvantaged people, especially children and young people. How Weser courier reported that the winners can receive up to 200 euros if they meet certain criteria.
In order to receive this bonus, the students had to, among other things, successfully complete their secondary school leaving certificate, complete a company internship and could have a maximum of five days of absence in the second half of school. In addition, good work and social behavior with at least a grade of 2 was required. These conditions show how important solid training and personal development is to the foundation in order to help young people start their professional future.
Excellent talents
This year, numerous committed students were honored. The award winners include Gawfan Hussein Ali, Sahra Ascieli, and David Cubreac. A total of 72 BBS II students received the prize, which underlines the high motivation and hard work of these young people.
In addition to the motivational prizes, secondary school qualifications were also awarded. The graduates Hadia Ali, Marwa Assadi and Jovica Azizovic successfully passed the final exams at the vocational school. This shows that these programs not only provide financial incentives, but actually provide a solid foundation for future careers, as documented on the BBS II website BBS II.
The transition into the professional world
The initiatives surrounding the motivational prize are particularly relevant because, according to a recent study, the Bertelsmann Foundation In 2024, almost 70,000 training positions would remain unfilled in Germany. The need to specifically prepare young people for entry into the job market is becoming increasingly crucial.
Around 250,000 young people start measures in the transition sector every year, often due to a lack of training places or insufficient qualifications. However, the majority of these young people have almost all the requirements for vocational training. The change that these programs can bring is strongly emphasized by education professionals. It turns out that targeted support and encouragement are essential in order to get young people into work as quickly as possible.
The committed work of local foundations and schools is a step in the right direction and is helping more and more young people find their place in professional life. We congratulate all graduates on their achievements!
