The youth agencies operate regionally and see themselves as a network structure in the transition from school to work. A particularly important field of work is advising young people and their parents on the transition from school to work . Therefore, the youth agencies have a lot of experience in the networking of young people or students and companies. The youth agencies should form an interface between youth work, schools, business and state institutions / programs.
