Vocational orientation and language support

The Academy for Intercultural Education & Social Affairs gGmbH offers the individual measure “Vocational orientation and language support”, acc. § 45 Para. 1 Sentence 1 No. 1 SGB III Introduction to the training and labor market and identification, reduction and elimination of placement barriers.

General objective

The main aim of the measure is to introduce participants to the training or labor market. The aim is to promote sustainable integration into training or work. Participants should be enabled to apply for jobs on the training and job market independently. To this end, they learn how to use common job search portals. They are helped to create professional application documents. Classic application situations are discussed and practiced with the participants. Participants receive individual and success-oriented support during the application process. Unemployment is thus reduced, ended or avoided altogether in the future.Ein Kernelement der Maßnahme ist die berufssprachliche Förderung, also die Vermittlung von fachspezifischen Sprachkenntnissen für den Bewerbungsprozess und den Beruf.

Further goals:

Raising awareness of regional and national training and job opportunities
Increasing motivation and changing perspectives
Strengthening personal initiative, willingness to learn and work attitude

Target group

The target group of the measure are those seeking training, those at risk of unemployment and the unemployed. The offer is aimed in particular at people with a migration background whose individual circumstances are not compatible with the training or labor market. These are employable beneficiaries with language deficits.

The participants have language barriers that have made it difficult for them to access the training and employment market in the past. The program is also aimed at participants with poor reading and writing skills. The target group includes participants of all language levels.

The measure helps participants who have been made aware of existing personal and other barriers to placement in the previous application process or when taking advantage of other support offers. The participants are people who (among other things) face specific challenges when looking for training and work due to their migration background.

Time scope

The individual measure is designed for 95 training units (TU), which are carried out within 4 weeks. The time periods and dates can be arranged flexibly for all participants, taking into account the respective child or family care situation.
