Personalised support in schools: talent scouting
Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences’ talent scouting programme is aimed at motivated upper-sixth form students in the districts of Kleve and Wesel. The aim is to help you identify your strengths, explore suitable career paths and ensure you are well prepared for the transition to university or vocational training.
If, for example, you are the first in your family to consider studying at university, you face particular questions and decisions – and that is exactly where we want to support you. You may also face other challenges, such as difficult financial circumstances or language barriers. Together with you, we will look at your strengths, interests and goals and develop prospects that suit you. Whether you already have a clear idea of what you want to do or are just starting out: we will be there to support you every step of the way.
Talent scouting at a glance
Who is talent scouting for?
The talent scouting programme is aimed at motivated sixth-form students in the districts of Kleve and Wesel. It is particularly aimed at young people from migrant backgrounds or those who would be the first in their family to go to university. If, regardless of this, you face additional challenges or need guidance, we will provide you with personalised and committed support. What matters most is motivation and interest, not your grades!
What does a Talentscout do?
A Talentscout will offer you confidential and free guidance as you make the transition from school to university, vocational training, a year abroad and more – and beyond. They will help you identify your strengths and interests, set realistic goals and plan concrete next steps. Appointments can take place at your school, at the university or online; together, you will keep at it until the transition is a success.
