Vocational preparation
Especially in times of sparse apprenticeship places and increasing demands for applicants for apprenticeship places, it is often impossible for adolescents to directly start an apprenticeship or vocational training. This is why many different organizations provide vocational preparation courses on behalf of the Federal Employment Agency and the AHA Soest in order to ease the adolescents' and young adults' way into an apprenticeship/vocational training.
In the district of Soest, there are different services such as for adolescents without school-leaving certificate but also for adolescents with qualified school-leaving certificates.
A special aptitude test is carried out in order to identify the professional talents and skills; application training, teaching and internships/traineeships are carried out in order to boost the chances of getting a training place/an apprenticeship.
Those measures and programs are offered for work in industrial, commercial, nursing and domestic sectors.
For further information, please see here on the website of the Federal Employment Agency and at the bottom of this page in the leaflet „Vocational preparation education programs".
