A courageous start into the future: the “MUT Academy” guides young people from school into professional training and helps develop individual perspectives for participants’ upcoming working lives.

Around 60% of young people in Hamburg who leave a district school after the 10th grade do not make the transition into professional training. However, there is not only a lack of training prospects for the students; they often also lack a positive self-image and belief in their own abilities.

With its varied programme of workshops, camps and individual support measures, the Courage Academy prepares these young people for the new phase of life and takes away their fear of the upcoming changes. The academy primarily supports those who neither have the chance of attending a practical or transfer class nor of receiving support through a career entry guidance programme. Through the two-year programme, the “MUT

Academy” provides the support these young people lack in their own environments and helps them to solve their motivation problems.

The covid-19 pandemic has aggravated the conditions on the employment and training market. With its intensive support programme, the “MUT Academy” succeeds in strengthening young people at an important turning point and opens up long-term training and career prospects for them. We support this contribution to more equal opportunities.
