“Mission ICH” – implementation of a holistic approach towards vocational orientation at schools in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

This article addresses findings and experiences collated since 2016 in a development and implementation project for the professionalisation of vocational orientation carried out at schools in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. A cross-cohort pedagogical scheme for school-based vocational orientation called the “Mission ICH” was designed for this purpose. This article highlights the levels on which robust implementation of the scheme requires school development processes and looks at the limitations with which the stakeholders involved are confronted. It concludes with a forecast of the further actions that will be needed.
