00:00:00.464 --> 00:00:03.753
So many things change over the course of a lifetime.

00:00:03.753 --> 00:00:07.217
And every now and then you have to adjust your own course.

00:00:07.217 --> 00:00:11.473
This is not always easy, especially when it comes to professional development.

00:00:11.473 --> 00:00:13.496
Take Alex for example.

00:00:13.496 --> 00:00:15.708
Dissatisfied with his current position, 

00:00:15.708 --> 00:00:17.881
Alex would like to develop further in his current job

00:00:17.881 --> 00:00:19.342
or look for something new.

00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:22.287
Just what that is, is not yet entirely clear.

00:00:22.287 --> 00:00:25.124
Fortunately, a friend has a good tip.

00:00:25.124 --> 00:00:28.318
For a career change, you should first find out 

00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:32.092
about your individual professional oppotunities

00:00:32.092 --> 00:00:33.914
and check what is available.

00:00:33.914 --> 00:00:36.465
To this end, Berlin offers independent and free 

00:00:36.465 --> 00:00:39.905
Educational Counselling and Career Guidance.

00:00:39.905 --> 00:00:43.613
Regardless of whether you are interested in further training, 

00:00:43.613 --> 00:00:46.355
are looking for an apprenticeship or study,

00:00:46.355 --> 00:00:50.145
or would like to reorient yourself after years in the same job.

00:00:50.145 --> 00:00:55.336
Educational Counselling and Career Guidance in Berlin is open to everyone.

00:00:55.336 --> 00:01:00.236
The goal is to work with our competent advisors

00:01:00.236 --> 00:01:04.097
 to find the right education or job for you.

00:01:04.097 --> 00:01:06.740
It ist simple.

00:01:06.740 --> 00:01:10.702
Just make an appointment at a counseling facility.

00:01:10.702 --> 00:01:15.729
Already at the first meeting you take stock of your professional situation

00:01:15.729 --> 00:01:19.060
and look closely at your interests and potential.

00:01:19.060 --> 00:01:24.268
Your advisor will help you specify your professional and personal goals.

00:01:24.487 --> 00:01:29.894
They will show you realistic opportunities for further training or career changes

00:01:29.894 --> 00:01:32.509
 and offer you support in your job search.

00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:37.520
Together you plan the next steps so that you can take action by yourself.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.667
Of course, the whole thing is not only possible directly on site, 

00:01:40.667 --> 00:01:42.545
but also by telephone or online.

00:01:42.545 --> 00:01:45.300
And in different languages.

00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:51.085
In Berlin we support you, no matter what phase of life you are in,

00:01:51.085 --> 00:01:54.100
in making smart educational and professional decisions 

00:01:54.100 --> 00:01:57.107
on a well-prepared and informed basis

00:01:57.107 --> 00:01:59.107
and in implementing them independently.

00:01:59.513 --> 00:02:01.613
Take this opportunity to learn.

00:02:01.613 --> 00:02:05.055

00:02:09.729 --> 00:02:12.960
