There are times in life when the path we have chosen no longer seems to be the right one. For many students, the step into the academic world is associated with high hopes and expectations. But what happens when the path no longer fits? When doubts arise about your own choice of studies? What if the feeling of being "lost" in the jungle of the German education system grows or the hurdles as an international student seem too great?

This is where the employment promotion service "Umsteigen statt Aussteigen" comes in - which not only leads to a fresh start, but also to a change of perspective. It offers open-ended advice and individual support for students in the Hannover Region and beyond who are struggling with doubts about their choice of studies. It's not just about the traditional path, but also about finding alternative options, such as switching to an apprenticeship or dual study program.

A strong example: interev GmbH

An outstanding example of successful cooperation with "Umsteigen statt Aussteigen" is the company interev GmbH.

As a reliable partner in the field of data protection, based in Langenhagen, the company shows how commitment to the region and the promotion of talent can go hand in hand. interev GmbH is not only known for its high level of expertise, but also for its strong personnel development. Every year, employees attend further training seminars to expand not only their technical knowledge but also their interpersonal skills. Openness, honesty and trust - these values characterize the corporate philosophy and are also reflected in the cooperation with young talents.

Yannik Sippel has been part of the interev team since 2017. He switched from studying information technology and electrical engineering at Leibniz Universität Hannover to training as an IT systems administrator at interev GmbH. Yannik Sippel and Managing Director Jürgen Recha are very pleased that their paths have brought them together.
