Presence module: Entry into trade union and political fields of work

Gainful employment takes up a lot of time and energy. So why not do a job that is meaningful and in which you can work for a fairer society? If you are interested in careers in the trade union and political sector, the final seminar in Hustedt is the right place for you. This is about analysing your own career aspirations and developments, getting to know different fields of work, coaching on starting a career and exchanging ideas with other curious people and more experienced colleagues.

Please note: People who belong to right-wing extremist parties and organisations or are associated with the right-wing extremist scene are excluded from the events. The organisers will deny them access to the event or exclude them from the event.
