25 April 2024, Brandenburg, Cottbus: Marcel Paulik, CreativeOpenLab (COLab) employee at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU), supports a 14-year-old pupil at work in the wood workshop. At the Future Day, the pupil found out about the possibilities of training as a carpenter. On the same day, companies, craft businesses, universities and many other institutions once again opened their doors for "Future Day for Girls and Boys in the State of Brandenburg". On this day, young people from year 7 onwards were able to gain their first practical insights into the world of work and get to know the variety of training occupations and study opportunities in Brandenburg, either on site or digitally online.
