Young learners often make career decisions with little knowledge of
the labour market. Negative perceptions about some career paths,
especially in the trades and in more technical fields, can discourage
some students from engaging further in these fields. Gender, ethnicity
and migration background, and socio-economic factors all strongly

families enjoying higher socio-economic status (SES) are significantly
more likely to want to work as professionals, and young people from
families experiencing lower SES are significantly more likely to want to
be technicians.

a few teaching units at school as an expert in the lessons. Put free traineeships in
stock exchanges. Besides, the free education exchange platform of the
employment agency and the chambers are especially important. Get linked from
there back on your own internet presence. Advertise your company as training
company by announcements in the regional newspapers and communication
sheets. Use ​trainee fairs and stock exchanges​. Also use in-house trade fairs,
exhibitions, trade show etc. actively for the promising advertisement, use here
videos, brochures and banners. Essential to effective guidance is giving young
