Girls who have little success at school, or, have failed or have stigmatising school careers behind them, look noticeably often to early motherhood as a way out of their apparently hopeless situation on the job market. This in itself makes a start in the world of work considerably more difficult and reinforces dependencies. In regard to their life scripts, it can be shown that these girls orientate themselves strongly towards those in their immediate environment and they are also subject to the biographic risk of reinforcement of problematic circumstances. They show a high level of resignation and a considerable need for orientation regarding the planning of their careers and training matters. A sex-sensitive advisory and support service is, however, only very seldom to be found. New development projects at scool-socialwork explicitly want to follow the ideas of gender mainstreaming. At the moment they are supported by targeted advisory concepts and are trying to translate competencies into life planning at an early stage. They are also trying to improve individual career orientations. To what extent the situations of disadvantaged girls in the workplace with a view to long- term employment can be improved by individual advice and support remains open. It is, however, certain that biographical learning processes can be stimulated at an early stage thanks to social pedagogical advisory and support work institutionally linked to schools. Also, future perspectives, beyond the underpaid careers, jobs or family work with alimonies known to these girls, can be opened. In my contribution to this conference, I would like to look into appropriate concepts for pedagogical development of career and biographical learning processes for girls with stigmatising school qualifications, or, broken off, that is to say, incomplete educational biographies. My analysis of their situation is based on the results of 9 group- discussions with a total of 75 young people at 9 schools as well as 18 expert-interviews and excerpts from two separate studies on the life situations of young mothers in socially deprived circumstances.
