Students´ company (Schuelerfirma) of Gesamtschule am Wällenberg in Hambergen, Germany

One of the most important tasks of secondary education at first level is the students´ introduction to working life. This „working life“ education takes place during lessons, especially in the subject Economics, which is taught in form of theoretical instructions and practical training (visits, enquiries and work placements in companies, project days and weeks) accompanied by the appropriate help from other subjects (e. g. working on CVs or letters of application in English lessons). Moreover students get support from outside school (Jump-Job-Training provided by Volksbank [a bank] and application training provided by AOK [health insurance company]).

However all these efforts led only partly to satisfactory results. According to companies´ reports after the work placements or after first career oriented practical training there are following defects to be named:

insufficient applications (form and content) insufficient preparation for the job interview inadequate behaviour unpunctuality and unreliability unsatisfactory knowledge of polite manners (e.g. in dealing with customers)

As one might expect this result of partly sad experiences led to reflections about how to create more real and helpful crossing from school into professional life for the students. What could we do at our school?

After extensive discussions the idea of creating our own students´company (Schuelerfima) for the 9th year was developed and the idea was finally transformed in following steps:

information visit at a school with a similar project topic orientated information event for students as well as interested colleagues of IHK-

Stade and district trade of Osterholz student community survey student community information event with following vote discussion and positive vote at teachers´ meeting making contacts with local companies starting a students´ company for the time being with 5 departments consent about procedure of applying and hiring celebration of starting a students´ company in 2002 with special guests (local

community mayor, district master craftsman, representatives of local companies, school parents' council, sponsor association)

provision of starting capital to the amount of 300 € provided by local community (school payers), school and sponsor association

The professed aim as well as the main problem for all involved was the opinion that the company has to differ completely from traditional school work. Of course the assumption for such attitude demands readiness of all involved to be active above expected measure of time and to consider the company as an autonomous, and to a large extent, independent institution within the school. With such understanding the role of involved teachers and students as well as teamwork organization changes:

● agreements are obligatory● complete responsibility of each department● independent working hours● keeping of safety and sanitary regulations● teamwork encouragement and good fellowship among colleagues● material and tool responsibility ● appropriate company representation in public

1

Surely at first realization of our goals was very arduous and often confusing. However in the course of time our students' company gained ground and attracted attention at our school as well as in the community of Hambergen, e.g.

The local community mayor and Mrs. Ruehl as a representative of Lower Saxony parliament visited the company. Besides these visits representatives of many other schools from Lower Saxony and Bremen came to see, inform themselves and get the idea of the company in the recent years. Since then we have received feedback from several schools which decided to start their own students' company because of the impressions they gained at our school (e.g. Don-Bosco-School, Hildesheim).

Apart from this we are very proud that the press took repeated notice of our activity and appreciated it in an appropriate way. Because of plenty and positive feedback we can already say: It is worth the effort.

General Business Activities

Although the work in the 9th year our company starts with the new school year, students do not start before February.

That means, that the students of the actual 9th year work in the company in the 2nd half-year of year 9 and through the first half-year of year 10.

In the first half-year of year 9 plans are made in cooperation with the existing company staff. The company works according to the form teacher principle, in other words, heads of departments are new engaged, departments newly created or modified with every new start. Of course, we are particularly happy if it is possible for our colleagues to carry on with their departments. Naturally this puts great demands on arrangement of lesson planning every year. The number of existing departments depends on the number of students participating.

After determining which departments there will be and who will lead them, announcement of working positions which have to be filled is advertised. Then the application procedure follows.

The application procedure is finished in January and working contracts with employees are signed at the beginning of the 2nd school half-year. In order to model a typical working day in the most realistic way the employees and the department heads accept some special conditions which will be described here in short. The working contracts are settled on a probationary period of 4 weeks and they are revocable again within legal bounds (notice period).The formulation of the working contracts (contract of employment) is made according to the ones in real working life (Enclosure 1).

The employees receive a detailed form describing of the the rights and duties of an employee in addition to the contract – but as a part of it - „Guidelines for work in the students´company“ (Leitlinien zur Arbeit in der Schuelerfirma). (Enclosure 2)

2

In the company the social form of cooperation among all included does not work on a student-teacher relationship but on an employee-supervisor relationship. Heavy infringements against it are the reason for a notice of caution.

Cautions proceed dismissals after the probationary period ends. These are pronounced by a department head as a consequence of violation of contract conditions. The notice period lasts 14 days. This time period was chosen because of reasons of necessary flexibility.

Apart from this every employee has got a dismissal right in case of new job orientation (although it is only made use of in exceptional cases).

At the beginning of work a works committee is elected to secure the co-determination of all occupied. Members of it can take part in conferences of department heads at weekly meetings and they have the right to give their opinion in a matters of cautions and dismissals.

Every employee of the students´company has the right to vote (every student of the form), but only an employee with existing contract can be elected.

We are very sorry that it is not possible to offer a contract to all students in the beginning of each company year. At the same time all students have to obey compulsory school attendance and they have to be looked after in an appropriate way. Therefore every student receives the status of an employee.

Employees who do not get a contract move to the Personnel Development Department (PEA- Personalentwicklungsabteilung). In order to put this procedure on a regular basis, we decided to have them sign so-called job agreements.

In the PDD (PEA) some further education takes place which focuses on writing applications, acquisition of present knowledge and developing communication skills. Besides, there is practical work on school grounds. In this department the aim of the work is to give opportunity for all affected to start a 3-week practical training in one of the departments and in this way get the possibility of contractual regular activity. (Enclosure 3)

A long-term stay in PDD (PEA) without a noticeable effort of an employee has a negative consequence on the assessment in the subject of Vocational Training (AWT – Arbeit, Wirtschaft, Technik). In general the work in the company is assessed within the subject of VT and for this reason students get grades.

To receive the assessment, employees have to assess and rate each other. All assessments are compared with the ones done by department head and only then the final assessment for every employee is made.

Working hours at the company are Wednesdays from 11:20 to 15:00, so that the whole working time covers 4 lessons. If required a department head can order overtime, which is compensated in free time. Normally, the working place is on the school grounds, but it can be a different place if required.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

At the beginning of working hours a team meeting takes place in the kitchen. The workforce discusses and decides on the tasks of each group. To explain – the school kitchen is divided in four kitchen lines, therefore four groups.

Everything in the department is built on the principle of the division of labour, work equality and much depends on the menu plan as well. The work which comes up (preparation of utensils, cooking, washing-up, table decoration, setting the tables, etc.) is settled within the groups. In the same independent way employees choose a meal for the next week. After a short time they learn to take into consideration costs, time factor and health aspects.

Head of department and 2 employees do the shopping at local shops.

EXTERNAL CONTACTS

PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS

The department is very popular in school public, which can be seen (among other things) by the high number of applications.

According to the number of present students and, of course, according to the popularity of the meal offered each time, we come up against limiting factors. For this reason a talent for improvisation is asked.

Through documentation (photo album), presentation during school events and through publication in the local press it becomes more and more well-known.

Even private persons from the community came to get first hand information on company work.

INNER ORGANIZATION

Within the department the following positions are announced and filled: 1. workshop head – division of labour, quality checking (inside)2. work headed outside – division of labour, quality check (outside)3. management of tools and machines

The positions 1 and 2 as well as 3 and 4 replace each other in case of absence. The inner structure of the department guarantees the continuation of work also in case of head of department´s absence, whereas machine operations are under safety restrictions. The position No. 5 is elected by the working staff and at the same time s/he is a candidate for works committee election. Since the existence of the students´company an employee of wood workshop has always been a member of works committee.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

The management of order continuance is carried out by head of department in agreement with the workers of the wood workshop. The economic situation of the department is discussed with the whole working staff at department meeting in regular intervals.

The daily working priorities are set by the department head in agreement with workshop heads inside and outside. Each personnel arrangement follows independently by the workshop head. All problems which arise are the tasks of the personnel replacement.

EXTERNAL CONTACTS

Since the existence of company work there has been an intensive cooperation with the carpenter´s workshop Xylo in Hambergen, supporting us with the introduction of safety regulations, obtaining of material, and giving idea of „real job”.

With growing external influence limited through quality and quantity of particular orders´ complexity widening of external contacts:

- Wood - frame Murken (Lübberstedt)- Roof technology Kopp (Hambergen - Spreddig)

At company´s grounds common prefabrication with appropriate technical lead-in. Holiday practical training – training opportunities.Joint appearance in public and in the press.

PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS

Some spectacular order completion let the interests of students grow to work in the workshop, so that in the past some applicants had to be rejected.

Bigger orders have high advertising effect, but they are very problematic from the economic point of view. The company has insufficient storing possibilities, so often workshop activities require construction and deconstruction with relevant time loss.

Since the start of its existence wood workshop has been economically stable and made contribution to the company profit. Because of the number of orders and acceptance among students the future of wood workshop seems to be guaranteed – if the students´company will be preserved.

School Newspaper „HASCH” – School newspaper of Hambergen

DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

The school newspaper has been set up in 2003, 2004 and anew since Feb. 2006. In 2004 the number of editors was 16-18, today the department has 12 employees.

MARKET RESULTS

The aim is to produce and to sell 3 or 4 newspaper editions per year. In 2004 400 copies have circulated, which were sold out completely at the prize of 1 € (adults) and 50 cents (students). To compensate high print expenses and be able to make profit, advertisers are being attracted. Four to six businessmen advertise in the school newspaper for their companies.

OUR CUSTOMERS

In 2004 the school newspaper was mainly sold to parents, teachers and the citizens of Hambergen. Only few copies were sold to students, most probably because of the social-political topics presented.

INNER ORGANIZATION

The positon of editor in chief depends on the teacher. Employees can apply for position of deputy editor in chief. The decision about the selection of articles is made by editorial conferences, in other words, by all editors and editor in chief.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

The working day starts with an editorial conference which lasts about an hour. The status of work is questioned and discussed, working orders are handed out and articles which

10

were produced by editors are given back with the corrections and suggestions for improvement from editor in chief.

Afterwards editors work at PCs, investigate for their articles, do interviews or carry out a survey. All editors have to produce at least one article for every school newspaper edition. They can work in pairs or in groups.

If they visit any events beyond working hours, e. g. music events and lectures in the evening or at the weekend, counting them as overtime is possible.

The sale of newspaper at school, in the streets or at events is part of the work of the company as well.

EXTERNAL CONTACTS

The work at the school newspaper enables employees to make contacts with other

persons outside of school. The mayor is interviewed on the question of youth policy, the young community nurse is accompanied at her work, the clerk in the townhall responsible for the issue of unemployment is interviewed. The events in Hambergen, Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Bremen which are interesting for young people are visited and later there are reports about them in the school newspaper.

Selling the newspaper takes place mainly outside school.

PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS

An interesting and good newspaper comes into being only if there are good ideas for articles. Many students have problems with it. The linguistic quality of the texts including spelling is poor especially at the start. The employees are often too quickly satisfied with their work, sometimes they are hard to convince to work further on their texts and to improve them. Well meant hints are seen as criticism and as a result, sometimes editors and editor in chief disagree. In this department it is much more difficult to get away from the role of a teacher.

A short time before the completion of the newspaper there is often great deadline pressure and therefore hectic rush and stress. Many overtime hours are necessary, but to hold a self made newspaper in your own hands is something to be proud of.

In February 2005, in a school newspaper competition in Lower Saxony and Bremen, the third edition of school newspaper HASCH took outstanding second place. This was a fantastic acknowledgement of our work in this students´company.

Landscape gardening „Kale” (Grünkohl)

DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

The department was founded in school year 2004/2005. In the beginning about. 20 students were employed. In the school year 2005/2006 the number of students dropped.

The work takes place in class rooms and in the school grounds. The tools had to be purchased. At first they were stored poorly, because there was no suitable store room, but now the situation has improved.

MARKET RESULTS

Aim of this department work was mainly setting up a school garden. According to this goal a field of activity was chosen which enables to make profit. We suceeded in signing a long-term valid contract with head teachers about the care of school grounds.

Apart from this, there is an attempt to use the yields for Bistro department. That is why kitchen herbs are cultivated and sold.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Members of school staff, head teachers as well as Bistro department.

INNER ORGANIZATION

In the beginning the responsible heads of various work areas were elected, e. g. composing facility, school garden facility, cold frame and kitchen herbs.

It quickly turned out, that one employee has to be in charge of the tools in order to secure adequate number as well as to avoid any loss. Besides it turned out that some employees are more productive than others. As a result the important work was assigned to them. The department is accompanied by works committee as well. ORGANIZATION OF WORK

12

In the beginning of the working day a work meeting takes place, where all tasks are divided. The work group leaders then decide on the work groups. The employee in charge of tools hands them out according to a well-ordered procedure.

PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS

Looking after outside facilites of the school opens a perspective. On the the other hand the providing of our products for the Bistro department seems to be more difficult (kitchen herbs and other plant raw material). Unfortunately we are not able to cultivate the needed ingredients because of the summer holidays. The cultivation of kitchen herbs will only then be successful if a plant house is at the department´s disposal.

We are thinking about looking after gardens outside of school (e.g. of teachers´), but it is not offered up to now.

Management and Marketing

DEPARTMENT INFORMATION

The department exists in the fourth school year in order, but every time with a different head of department.

Average filling: 12 with a high participation of female employees.Working room is the school computer room.

ACHIEVEMENTS

The department organizes all business activities of students´company, coordinates each department and it is responsible for personnel matters. Moreover, it establishes contacts with possible clients and produces offers and writes invoices. It is responsible for the bookkeeping of the students´company.

13

The department takes on service tasks in school management and organization (printing of info-booklet, help in the lending of books, service in the collecting area of the school, etc.), advertises itself with help of self-made announcements and advertisements for the offers of the students´ company.

OUR CUSTOMERS

School heads and school staff, other company departments, sponsor association of the KGS, community management of Hambergen.

INNER ORGANIZATION

Within the department specific employees are responsible for each department with intimate knowledge about the practise of each department. These contacts check the presence of employees, record working hours/overtime, accept orders for the management and are responsible for carrying them out. Especially suitable employees (chosen by the head of department) are responsible for bookkeeping and finance (bank contact, running of the account).

In the department the positon of deputy head of department is announced and filled. For this reason in absence of HOD normal carrying out of all works is guaranteed.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

All activities of personnel management are done independently by employees. All other work priorities are alloted according to the HOD´s and employees´consent.

PERSPECTIVES AND PROBLEMS

As far as the demands on exact bookkeeping are concerned, as a consequence of department staff exchange each year the management needs a considerable amount of training time. Therefore the main tasks lie in the competence of HOD and only later the tasks are taken over by suitable employees one after another. Dealing with money requires a strong mutual trust and controls among employees (cashing up and paying off). The assumption for payment of bills requires a thorough and exact way of work. This is quite demanding and presents considerable effort for many employees. However, the feeling of success after well-done work motivates for further activity. With the economic success of students´ company, which is at first visible to employees of this department, the motivation for further work increases.

FINANCE

The finance management is an essential part of the department activities. The aim of the students´ company is to make profit through its services. Besides the starting capital which is passed on to the following year of the students´company, it ends its work with profit.
