Promotion of apprenticeships

Are you an employer offering a training position to a severely disabled person? You have a severe disability and have found a training position and need support?

We, the "LVR Budget for Work - Inclusion Campaign" team, will be happy to support you in starting an apprenticeship on the general labor market.

We offer both you as an employer and you as a trainee various support services:

• Training bonuses
• Occupational support from the integration service
• Budget services: Support for individual measures, for example work training, coaching or remedial teaching
• Subsidies for examination fees
• Grants towards investment costs for the creation of a new training place

The support is aimed at severely disabled persons or persons with equivalent status who have a special need for support.

If your training location is in the Rhineland, you can submit an application to us:

• Application for premiums, budget benefits and examination subsidies
  • Premiums can be applied for up to 3 months after the start of training.
• Application and further information on subsidies for investment costs
  • The subsidy must be applied for within 6 months of the start of training.

The specialist advisors at the chambers will help you with all questions relating to training for people with disabilities. They will also help you to obtain further support if required.

And they also provide support in finding an apprenticeship.

If you have any questions about the application process, our Budget and Work - Inclusion Campaign team will be happy to help you.

If your employees want more structure and stability in their day-to-day tasks, they can get digital support from the free InA.Coach app.

The app is designed to be inclusive and is aimed in particular at people with learning difficulties and cognitive impairments in the areas of work, home, school, household, etc.

The app makes it easy to create simple instructions for work processes. You can use pictures and text to make them colorful and motivating. Checklists, timers and a review function help.

Job coaches also benefit from the app. Together with their clients, they determine what is important for their tasks.
