Motives and influencing factors for the choice of vocational training

Every year, thousands of pupils ask themselves what their future educational path should look like. Which educational path is particularly promising and will open up opportunities in professional life? What are their personal interests and which type of school is best suited to them?The educational and career choices made by pupils depend on a wide variety of motives and influencing factors. This book aims to shed light on the theoretical aspects as well as to show and scrutinize the empirical view based on the educational choices of HAK pupils.First of all, it is often the pragmatic factors that lead to the choice of a type of school and not fundamental considerations about the future self.This makes it all the more important to continuously improve the curricular design in the school system (developed in this book for the commercial academy) and to adapt it to the needs of today's working life.Embark on an exciting journey and join me in scrutinizing the fascinating aspects and decision-making processes of educational choice.
