Raising young people’s awareness of public sector jobs in Germany

The German Civil Service Federation (DBB) is spearheading a widespread campaign to spark interest in the public sector. On the die-unverzichtbaren.de (the essentials) website, a module allows professions to be identified with applicants stating their priorities and a number of civil servants outlining their duties and describing their motivation. Posters are on display and brochures are being handed out in the country’s secondary schools and higher education institutions.
