MUT Academy

The MUT Academy encourages young people in Hamburg to make a successful transition from school to working life. The students are supported in their individual career orientation process. The focus is on exploring their own strengths and interests, getting to know possible career paths and apprenticeships and providing concrete support throughout the application process. To this end, we organize MUT camps lasting several days, offer events throughout the year and accompany the young people individually on their way. The aim is to strengthen self-confidence and self-efficacy so that the young people can courageously take their future into their own hands and find a suitable follow-up perspective after the 10th grade. Volunteers and full-time MUTivators accompany the young people step by step and encourage them to take on new challenges.
