Regensburg Regional Council's New Youth Leader Appointed
Johann Götz, a seasoned professional with over 17 years of experience at the Federal Employment Agency, has been appointed as the new leader of the Youth Office at the Regensburg District Administration. The district administrator, Tanja Schweiger, officially welcomed Götz, stating that he brings all the necessary qualifications for the role, including his degree from the Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences, long-standing experience in leading larger organizations, and expertise in social law.
In his new position, Götz plans to focus on child protection, prevention, early promotion, and supporting families. He identifies setting priorities, securing existing offers, and successfully implementing legal reforms such as the Children and Youth Welfare Inclusion Act as the greatest challenges in his new role.
Götz started his career at the Federal Employment Agency and held various specialist and leadership positions, including managing director for placement and counseling in Regensburg, head of the controlling and finance department in Nuremberg, and managing director for benefit payment in Munich. His experiences at the Federal Employment Agency, including navigating challenges during the aftermath of the financial crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, and refugee crisis, have prepared him for new challenges.
Balancing the expectations of employees, partners, and the public is another challenge that Götz must face in his new role. However, he is ready to listen respectfully, value the experiences of his new colleagues, and develop sustainable solutions step by step. Close and trusting cooperation with schools, free carriers, and other partners is considered particularly important by Götz.
In his new role, Götz will cooperate with various specialist associations and political partners. Although the specific organizations and partners are not detailed in the available information, Götz is motivated to take on the role due to a personal interest in helping children, young people, and families in the region. Götz is filling a long-vacant position as the leader of the Youth Office at the Regensburg District Administration.
