Applying for support from a specialist integration service for a person with disabilities
In certain cases, rehabilitation providers may commission specialist integration services to provide services for participation in working life.
The Integration Service will help you to find a new job or to secure your existing employment relationship if the responsible rehabilitation provider has instructed you to do so.
If your employment agency is the responsible rehabilitation provider, it will also cover the costs incurred by commissioning the integration service.
The Integration Service will provide you with individual support and guidance during the placement process. This includes, among other things, that he
- works with you to develop achievable professional goals and supports you in your search for a suitable job or training place,
- procures a suitable job or apprenticeship for you and prepares you for the job or apprenticeship,
- supports and accompanies you during the training period.
The Integration Service will support you in the event of problems at your job or training place. This includes, for example,
- accompaniment and training at the workplace or training place,
- advice if the organisation of work or the working conditions in your company change, or
- consultation and negotiation with various levels of the company.
There is a nationwide network of integration services. There is at least one such service in each district of an employment agency.
Process flow

- If you do not yet have a personal contact person, please make an appointment via the service hotline of the Federal Employment Agency.
- In a personal meeting, you will clarify together whether support from the Integration Service is an option for you.
