Apply for a subsidy from the Federal Employment Agency for internship remuneration for young people who are to be prepared for in-company vocational training as part of an introductory training program
Service Description
With entry-level training, you can prepare young people who have already decided on a specific profession for an apprenticeship in your company. As part of a paid internship, they are introduced to the future training content and can put their skills to the test.
You can apply for a monthly allowance of up to EUR 262.00 plus a flat-rate share of the average total social security contribution for the internship remuneration.
The content of the internship should be based on the future training occupation. You should also aim to take on the trainee in your company.
The following are eligible for funding:
- Training applicants registered with the Employment Agency with limited placement prospects for individual reasons who do not have a training position even after the nationwide follow-up placement campaigns,
- training seekers who are not yet fully ready for training, and
- those with learning difficulties and socially disadvantaged training seekers
Funding generally begins on October 1 of each year at the earliest. It is generally possible to start the measure early from August 1.
Process flow
You must apply for the grant for entry-level training in writing:
- Specify the internship content, duration, remuneration and suitability criteria for the participants and report the open offer to your chamber and your employment agency.
- You will then receive information about a provisional funding commitment.
- If your prospective trainees are not yet registered with the employment agency, please ask them to register with the employment agency. This is the only way to check whether they belong to the group of people eligible for funding.
- If the applicant belongs to the group of people eligible for support, conclude an EQ contract with him or her. You can download the sample contract or ask your chamber.
- Before the start of the internship, apply to the employment agency for a subsidy towards the internship allowance. Enclose a copy of the EQ contract.
-
- If you have registered with the Employment Agency for eServices, you can also exchange all applications and supporting documents online with the Jobcenter.
- You then register the trainee with the health insurance company and the employers' liability insurance association.
- You will receive written notification from the employment agency as to whether the allowance will be granted.
-
- If you have agreed to electronic transmission of the notification in your online account, the notification will be made available to you online in your notification file.
- If your applicant is required to attend vocational school, you must register him or her at the vocational school and preferably in the relevant subject class before the start of the internship.
- If your trainee requires support during the introductory training, he or she should coordinate this with the employment agency and, if necessary, apply for these support services from the assisted training program.
