Individual educational and career opportunities still depend on socioeconomic and societal conditions that are difficult for students to recognize—and almost impossible to change. The goal of talent scouting at Fulda University of Applied Sciences is to counteract this in a concrete and individualized way. Through continuous support, the strengths and talents of students whose potential is less visible in the education system are identified (e.g., first-generation students, socially/financially disadvantaged or immigrant youth).

They are motivated to pursue an educational path that matches their interests and abilities. Building on the existing trusting collaboration with schools in the region and in close exchange with the general student advisory service, a new support program is being created at partner schools of Fulda University of Applied Sciences: Interested students can proactively and directly access opportunities for discussions at their schools, which they are made aware of through information sessions and ideally also by their teachers.
