So nothing stands in the way
Language courses
German is still a hurdle? For young people with a migrant or refugee background, there are language and support programmes that specifically prepare you for an apprenticeship. We will show you the right path.
Language course advice
Financial assistance
Training sometimes costs money, for accommodation, commuting or learning materials. There is financial support such as vocational training allowance (BAB). We help you find out what you are entitled to.

Any questions?
With so many options, it's easy to lose track. But that's not a problem. Let us help!
Nothing. All offers on this page are free of charge – from application training and parent evenings to advice on language courses and funding. You also don't need a membership or registration with loads of forms. Simply get in touch via the contact page, and we'll take care of the rest.
Yes, of course. Many trainees in Brandenburg started out in exactly the same way. There are language and support courses that prepare you specifically for your training – with the words you really need in your job. And you'll learn a lot of it on the job anyway, among real colleagues. Get in touch with us, we'll find the course that suits you.
Then let us help you before you start questioning your apprenticeship because of it. There is vocational training allowance (BAB) – a grant from the Federal Employment Agency that you do not have to pay back. Whether you are entitled to this and how much you will get depends on your situation, for example, whether you are moving for your apprenticeship. We will calculate exactly that together with you.
Write to us – that's what this page is for. Drop us a line via the contact page, whether it's about choosing a career, job applications or stress during your apprenticeship. Your parents or teachers can also get in touch with us directly. No question is too small: better to ask a quick question than worry about it for months.
