Participate in an activity that prepares young people with disabilities for training.
The rehabilitation-specific pre-vocational training measure (BvB) supports young people with disabilities who are quite suitable for a training place, but are not (yet) up to the general requirements due to their disabilities. The aim is to prepare you for an apprenticeship and to help you find a suitable apprenticeship. This can also be a specialist practitioner training for people with disabilities. If, during the course of the measure, it becomes apparent that it is not possible to take up vocational training for reasons relating to your person, you can also be supported in the further course with the aim of taking up employment.
At the end of the training course, you should have found answers to these questions: Where do my talents lie? What kind of training should it be? What profession can I imagine?
The content includes, but is not limited to,
- Assistance with career orientation and career choice,
- imparting knowledge and skills for taking up training,
- the opportunity to acquire the lower secondary school leaving certificate retrospectively,
- Internships in various professional fields and companies,
- Job application training,
- Assistance in finding training and, if necessary, jobs.
You can do a rehabilitation-specific pre-vocational training measure at an educational institution or in a vocational rehabilitation facility that is geared to the special needs of young people with disabilities. Depending on the target group and equipment, the providers have their own training workshops, offices and companies with disability-friendly workplace design and provide you with pedagogical and sometimes psychological support. Vocational rehabilitation facilities also offer housing and leisure facilities and are available for occupational health questions.
If the Employment Agency is your responsible rehabilitation provider, it will cover the costs.
You receive financial support in the form of transitional allowance or training allowance and you are covered by social security.
Note for customers who receive benefits from the Jobcenter (Bürgergeld):
If you participate in a rehab-specific pre-vocational training measure, you will receive an additional citizen's allowance bonus of EUR 75.00 per month from 01.07.2023. You do not have to submit your own application.
Whether you are able to take part in a rehabilitation-specific pre-vocational training measure depends, among other things, on:
- whether the measure is suitable for you and your specific case in order to increase your chances of taking up vocational training,
- what your personal inclinations are and how they can be useful in your professional life,
- which activities you would like to carry out and
- how the training and labour market is currently developing.
The rehab-specific BvB usually starts at the beginning of the training year in September and usually lasts up to 12 months. However, you can also join at another time. Under certain conditions, an extension of up to a total duration of 24 months is possible.
