WiesPaten - Sponsorships for education
The "WiesPaten" program helps young people to successfully master their school career. Committed companies and student teachers offer the young people valuable support - and gain something themselves in the process.
The WiesPaten lessons take place in a fixed group of pupils at a school, usually in years eight to ten. The young people receive targeted support and their personal development is strengthened. An important step towards equal opportunities.
The WiesPaten mentors from the companies and the WiesPaten teachers also support the young people in career guidance and in the transition from school to work.
Living sponsorship
Employees of the companies accompany "their" WiesPaten group, they get to know each other and organize various extracurricular activities together throughout the year. This creates opportunities for shared experiences, learning and thinking outside the box. With insights into the company or help with career guidance, they open up additional educational opportunities for the young people.
