The National Future Day aims to inspire teens to explore gender non-conforming professions under the theme ‘Seitenwechsel’. Lars Hering, head of career counseling in Basel, highlights the importance of career guidance as students discover popular and emerging careers, from traditional roles in healthcare and commerce to modern choices like influencers. Established in 2001, this initiative fosters professional equality and challenges stereotypes, encouraging youth to pursue their passions and interests, including fields like IT and craftsmanship that promise future relevance.
