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 wants to grow in his current job

00:00:17.881 --> 00:00:19.342
or explore new opportunities.

00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:22.287
Exactly what that might be is not yet entirely clear.

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

00:00:25.124 --> 00:00:28.318
When considering a career change, it’s important to first find out 

00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:32.092
what your individual professional opportunities are

00:00:32.092 --> 00:00:33.914
and explore what's 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
Whether you're interested in further training, 

00:00:43.613 --> 00:00:46.355
looking for a vocational training or study,

00:00:46.355 --> 00:00:50.145
or seeking a fresh start after years in the same role - 

00:00:50.145 --> 00:00:55.336

The goal is to work together with our competent advisors

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

00:01:04.097 --> 00:01:06.740
It's simple.

00:01:06.740 --> 00:01:10.702
Just make an appointment at a counselling centre.

00:01:10.702 --> 00:01:15.729
At the very first meeting, you’ll assess your professional situation

00:01:15.729 --> 00:01:19.060
and take a close look at your interests and potential.

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

00:01:24.487 --> 00:01:29.894
They'll show you realistic options for further training or career changes

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

00:01:32.509 --> 00:01:37.520
Together, you'll plan the next steps so you can take action on your own.

00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.667
Of course, this service is not only available on-site, 

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

00:01:42.545 --> 00:01:45.300
And in multiple 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

on a well-informed and prepared basis,

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