• § 16 Absatz 1 Nummer 3 Sozialgesetzbuch Zweites Buch (SGB II)
• § 54a Sozialgesetzbuch Drittes Buch (SGB III)

• Contract for introductory training between the company and the young person

• The internship must:
  • last between 6 and 12 months.
  • be remunerated and covered by social insurance.
• The intern must belong to the eligible group of people. This must be checked by the job center.
• The trainee must not have previously been employed in your company.
• The introductory training must not take place in the company of a spouse, partner or parents.
• If vocational school attendance is compulsory, the trainee must attend vocational school and be enrolled in the relevant specialist class.

None

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 do not receive any benefits from the job center, ask them to register with the employment agency. This is the only way to check whether they belong to the eligible group of people.
• If the applicant is eligible for support, you will conclude an EQ contract with him or her. You can download the sample contract or ask your chamber.
• Before the internship begins, apply to the employer service or job center for an internship allowance. Enclose a copy of the EQ contract. If you have registered for eServices with the employment agency, you can also exchange all applications and supporting documents online with the job center.
• You then register the trainee with the health insurance company and the employers' liability insurance association.
• You will receive a written notification from the job center as to whether the subsidy 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 Jobcenter and apply for this support if required.

There is no deadline. You must apply for funding before the introductory training begins. The applicant must be registered at the vocational school before the start of the internship, provided that vocational school attendance is compulsory.
