Schulewirtschaft

What Schulewirtschaft does

SCHULEWIRTSCHAFT Rhein-Main-Taunus is a voluntary working group (freiwillige Arbeitsgemeinschaft) of teachers based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, operating under a formal agreement between the Hessian Ministry of Education, regional presidents, and the Vereinigung der Hessischen Unternehmerverbände (VhU). The organization functions as a regional bridge between schools and the business community, serving students, teachers, schools, regional employers, and parents across Frankfurt, Main-Taunus-Kreis, and Hochtaunuskreis. Its legal headquarters is hosted at the Haus der Wirtschaft Hessen, with secretariat support provided by HESSENMETALL Rhein-Main-Taunus.

The organization's core offerings include the annual Bester Praktikumsbericht student competition (now in its 17th edition), a professional development seminar program for teachers, the Gütesiegel Berufs- und Studienorientierung Hessen certification program (currently held by 111 schools statewide), the mobile M+E-InfoTruck outreach service, the Berufswahlpass documentation tool, the SchulePlus structured internship program, and parent information evenings. The underlying technology is a website-based platform used for information dissemination and seminar registration; there are no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI capabilities.

SCHULEWIRTSCHAFT is a non-profit educational initiative and does not generate commercial revenue. Its operations are funded through organizational support from HESSENMETALL and VhU rather than market transactions. The go-to-market motion is community-led, relying on direct engagement with schools, teacher working groups, employer association networks, and regional chambers. The organization maintains a network of strategic partnerships with the Agentur für Arbeit, IHK, Handwerkskammer, DGB, OloV Hessen, and the Bildungswerk der Hessischen Wirtschaft to coordinate program delivery.
