Boris Rhein
Minister President of Hesse and patron of Chance 2026
The right choice of educational path plays a formative role in our lives time and time again. This applies to young people who, after finishing school, are faced with the difficult decision of which career to choose and which training or study program is appropriate for this. But it also applies to adults who want to further their professional education, change direction, or take the plunge into self-employment. These are always far-reaching decisions that influence our lives.
This makes it all the more important to get a good overview of the options available. At the "Chance 2026" fair, visitors will not only find expert advice and a wealth of information at a glance. They will also be able to make important contacts – whether with experts, potential employers, or people in the same situation.
Education and training open up paths to a good professional future, determine life opportunities, and are among the prerequisites for contributing one's own skills to our community in a meaningful way. That is why the Hessian state government supports everyone who wants to further their personal education, for example by strengthening career guidance in schools, improving the equipment in vocational schools, and offering free master craftsman training. In this way, we want to give them the impetus to expand their personal skills and at the same time help them to use their talents even more profitably in their careers.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all visitors to "Chance 2026." I am delighted to be the patron of the fair. I hope that everyone who is looking for a career or a change of career will soon find the right opportunity for them.
Boris Rhein, Minister President
of Hesse
