Eric Ohlmann* reached out to the state initiative “Fachkraft im Fokus” because he wanted to change careers. The software developer moved back to Saxony-Anhalt from Munich two years ago but continued to work remotely for a Munich-based IT company.
Working from home sparked a desire in Eric Ohlmann* for more interaction with others and for a career change in Saxony-Anhalt. In addition to looking for a new job in the IT sector, he was also interested in a career change to become a teacher in Saxony-Anhalt.
Our regional consultant for skilled workers, Nicole Kegel, researched suitable positions in the IT sector for the 38-year-old and supported the software developer through the application process. She also gathered information on a career change to teaching: the possibility of pursuing a degree should not be ruled out either.
After careful consideration and several discussions, Eric Ohlmann* decided to pursue a teaching degree in Magdeburg, which he will begin in October 2022.
“I’d like to say a big thank you to you, because your support—including the discussions you helped facilitate in the IT sector—helped me make this decision,” the prospective student tells regional advisor Nicole Kegel, thanking her for her dedication.
