BeLeM | Career life planning for young mothers

Career planning for young mothers

BeLeM is a project that offers young mothers from Bremen without a school leaving certificate or with a basic vocational qualification (BBR) the opportunity to actively shape their own future, even with a child. BeLeM accepts mothers of compulsory school age and young mothers up to 23 years old who have left school due to pregnancy and cannot or do not want to return to their regular classes because of childcare responsibilities.

In the BeLeM class, young mothers learn with consideration for their individual needs and interests. They are given the opportunity to obtain a basic or extended vocational qualification, thus gaining future prospects and the chance for qualified training.

During lessons, the children are cared for in the project's own under-3s group within the school building. Through intensive support, the children are given a good start in life.

What does BeLeM offer?

• Reintegration into everyday school life, which is geared towards the needs, interests and life situation of young mothers
• Supervision of the participants in a small group of up to 10 students by a multi-professional team (class teacher, social worker and educators)
• Obtaining a school leaving certificate (basic vocational qualification or extended vocational qualification)
• 5 days of lessons with simultaneous childcare in the project's own children's group in the school building
• three-week internship during the school semester
• Support for reflection and strengthening of personal skills in school and private matters
