Assisted training (AsA) can accompany you along the way in your search for and acceptance of a suitable training position, all the way to the successful completion of your in-company vocational training.
The AsA supports you, for example, in the case of poor grades or problems in the training company / vocational school or in the parental home, which jeopardize an admission / the success of the training.
You can also receive support from the AsA when completing an introductory qualification (EQ).
An education provider with experienced teachers, social pedagogues and a training companion will develop an individual support plan with you.
You can receive the support depending on the individual needs for a limited period of time, but also during the entire training/ EQ.
During participation, a training companion is available to you as a permanent contact person.
If you carry out your in-company vocational training or EQ on a part-time basis, you can receive equal support during the accompanying phase of AsA.
You can also participate in AsA as a young person with disabilities if your individual support needs can be covered by it and participation in working life is achieved.
Your training company can also be supported within the framework of the AsA in order to lead your training or your EQ to success.
The AsA is divided into 2 phases.
Preliminary phase (optional)
.This phase supports the search for and acceptance of a company training position. Contents can be, for example:
- Internships,
- if necessary also vocational orientation,
- Application training,
- Strengthening motivation or
- to a limited extent, the reduction of language and educational deficits.
The participation takes place full-time (39 hours of instruction per week) and lasts in principle 6 months. If you could not find a company training position during this time, the participation can be extended by another 2 months.
.If you have signed an in-company training contract or a contract for the implementation of an EQ, you can participate in the accompanying phase of the AsA at any time if you need further support.
