Career opportunities for single parents: free networking in Köpenick!
On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, an important event will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the council hall of the Köpenick town hall. Under the motto "self -determined and strong", the event is aimed particularly at single mothers and fathers. The aim is to facilitate the professional (re) entry for this target group. This is reported by the [Berlin city administration] (https://www.berlin.de/ba-treptow-koepenick/aktuelles/Pressemaytungen/2025/Pressemage division.1602228.php).
A central concern of the event is networking and exchange among the participants. Because the challenges in the compatibility of family and work are considerable for many parents, especially single parents. In 2023, around 7.2 million mothers and 6.2 million fathers of working age at least one child under the age of 15 were in the household, with 68 % of mothers and 92 % of fathers being employed, according to Federal Center for Political Education.
Exchange and support
The event not only offers job offers that are compatible with everyday family life, but also an application check on site, as part of the "Wortlaut" project. Interested parties can bring their application documents and receive professional feedback. In addition, childcare is offered on site to facilitate participation.
The registration process is easy and participation free of charge. Interested parties can have from the website eveeno.com register. This initiative is part of the focus year "strong connections - one year for single parents", which focuses on the reconciliation of family and work for single parents.
Challenges for family and work
The compatibility of work and family life remains a major challenge. Full -time employment represents a hurdle for many families, since in 2023 37 % of single mothers and 92 % of fathers were employed full -time. In contrast, around 50 % of couples with immigration history did not work in working life, which also contains the financial situation of many families ( Statista ).
The care offers, such as day careers and kindergartens, are essential so that working parents can pursue their employment. However, the employment rate of mothers in eastern Germany, with 48 % for mothers with children under the age of three, has a higher rate compared to the west, where only 38 % are employed. These differences are primarily due to the respective care situations.
Around 44 % of mothers want a more balanced distribution of childcare. In fact, 48 % of mothers take on the majority of this responsibility, while flexible employment models and state support can help parents to better combine their professional and family obligations.
Overall, it can be seen that the event on October 14th offers a valuable platform in order to give single parents support and orientation and at the same time draw attention to the challenges that they have to cope with in the compatibility of family and work.
