The University of Applied Sciences Landshut recently hosted the 4th Regional Youth Welfare Day, marking the 15-year anniversary of the Bachelor's program "Social Work in Child and Youth Welfare." Over 100 professionals, including local institution workers, educators, students, and alumni, gathered to discuss the theme of "Strengthening Protection, Involvement, and Promotion of Young People."

Janine Brabender, a caseworker at the City Youth Welfare Office, was one of the keynote speakers at the conference. She emphasized the importance of upholding information rights during the "help plan procedure," providing insights into how professionals in public youth welfare can conduct consultations effectively.

Brabender also highlighted that those seeking help from the youth office have a right to a consultation that is understandable, perceptible, and traceable. She explained the legal basis and methods for information transfer in a workshop, stressing the need for both structural possibilities and different pedagogical methods.

The City Youth Welfare Office values the input and fresh ideas brought by the students during their six-month internship. The internship program is a mutually beneficial collaboration between the university and the youth office, allowing students to apply their scientific knowledge in a practical setting. During their internship, students work together with colleagues from the youth office to continuously improve the quality of consultations.

The internship program at the City Youth Welfare Office is a platform for students to gain practical experience in the field of youth welfare. It aims to improve the quality of consultations through the collaboration between students and professionals. The City Youth Welfare Office works in collaboration with social service providers, local authorities, and advisory services to enhance the quality of advice in the field of youth welfare. Although specific named cooperations in Landshut are not explicitly mentioned in the available results, it is clear that this collaboration is essential for the improvement of the youth welfare system.

Brabender stated that the students' work contributes to the continuous improvement of the quality of consultations. She noted that the students bring current findings and fresh ideas during their internship, which helps to keep the youth welfare system up-to-date and innovative.

The City Youth Welfare Office appreciates the close work with students and recognizes the value they bring to the organization. The internship program is an opportunity for students to work closely with professionals in the field, gaining invaluable experience and insights into the real-world application of their studies. As the program continues, it is expected that the quality of consultations will continue to improve, benefiting the young people who rely on the services of the City Youth Welfare Office.
