BENNINGHOVEN – School Collaboration – Kurfürst-Balduin-Realschule plus

New “Strong Partners" in Wittlich

Mapping out the way to the future for young people – with a long-term perspective: This is the goal pursued by the Kurfürst-Balduin-Realschule plus in Wittlich with its first training and learning partnership. In this case, the “Strong Partner“ mentioned in the title of the project is BENNINGHOVEN from Wittlich. Together with the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Trier, the initiator and sponsor of training and learning partnerships in the region, the parties have now given their official seal of approval to the collaboration.

For the coming year, the agreement foresees not only a tour of BENNINGHOVEN’s facilities, but also the founding of a company by 8th grade students. BENNINGHOVEN will accompany this project with its enormous store of experience and expertise.

Over the years, the two partners have already worked together in the area of career orientation in the course of “Study Days”, for instance with tips and advice for writing applications and trial interviews. “It was now important to take the next step, namely to firmly cement what has up to now been only a loose collaboration,” says Heike Düpre form the Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

“We want to give them insights into the practical sides of working life – and, of course, make them aware of us as an attractive employer.“
