Competent Educational Consultancy is a nationwide matter. Following examples provide among other things new ideas for our work.

• Educational Consultancy is available for Berlin’s inhabitants in so-called Lernladen. More information under http://www.lnbb.de/

• A successful example of an online portal for Educational Consultancy is the website: www.Bildungsberatung-Berlin.de

• Reference models and practical guidelines for the establishment of Educational Consultancy are included in the research project “Bildungsberatung im Dialog” [educational consultancy in a dialogue]: www.bb-dialog.de/index.php?l=praxis_menu&m=tools&h=3

• In the Administrative District Görlitz are already neutral information portals informing about the regional educational offers, especially: www.bildungsmarkt-neisse.de und www.kulturwegweiser-ol.de

• Instruments that help to determine the competences: www.profilpass-online.de, www.berufswahlpass-sachsen.de, www.europass-info.de

• • Financing possibilities of (vocational) education: www.bildungspraemie.info, http://www.ziz-berlin.de/media/de/F%C3%B6rder%C3%BCbersicht_Juli_2010.pdf
