The individual in-company qualification within the framework of Supported Employment is intended to offer you vocational prospects for participation in working life through individual qualifications directly in the company. If your employment agency is the responsible rehabilitation agency, it will assume the costs.

You are given the opportunity to take up employment in the general labor market that matches your skills and wishes, even without formal qualifications.

According to the motto "first place, then qualify", you will be placed in a company as quickly as possible. You will expand your personal skills, develop your social competence and acquire further knowledge.

For this purpose, a qualification trainer is at your side. This person works for a provider who implements and accompanies your measure. It is also their task to look for the company qualification places with you. The provider has a large regional network and many employer contacts.

The individual in-company qualification is divided into 3 phases:

• Entry phase: you try out vocational interests and test your skills in one or more companies if required. Together with your qualification trainer, you look for suitable qualification positions and determine in which areas you need support and qualification.
• Qualification phase: You will receive a practice-oriented qualification and will be trained in one or more qualification positions. In addition, you will be taught the cross-occupational skills you need for your work on project days at your provider.
• Stabilization phase: This begins as soon as you fill the job that is tailored to you, your qualification trainer determines that you no longer need qualification and the company holds out the prospect of taking you on. You will practice your tasks and competencies in detail in your everyday work and strengthen and consolidate your independence. In addition, all participants are intensively prepared for your employment.

How long the individual phases last depends on your individual requirements.

The individual in-company qualification lasts up to 24 months.

In individual cases, it can be extended by a maximum of 12 months. The aim is for you to obtain employment subject to social insurance contributions as a result of the in-company training.

During the individual in-company qualification program, you will be covered by health, nursing care, accident and pension insurance. You are also entitled to either training allowance or transitional allowance.
