Targeted training. Attractive opportunities.
As part of its strategy to boost economic competitiveness and promote digital transformation, the German government has passed the Qualifizierungschancengesetz (QCG), or Qualification Opportunities Act, thus establishing a new staff training framework for people in employment. The new legislation is an opportunity for companies to save money on training and wages. Depending on the size of the company, the number of employees, and the extent of training required, subsidies on the cost of staff training can be as much as 100%. This also supports the ongoing training of individual employees to promote further development internally.
Berlitz offers a variety of suitable training programs for this to allow people receiving training to benefit from the subsidies. Our courses also allow employees to acquire language and computer skills that will prepare them for the future. Do contact us if you require information. We’ll be pleased to advise you.
Make full use of the QCG today – gaining access to subsidies
Until now, most state subsidies focused on enabling jobseekers and older workers to gain new qualifications. With the new Qualifzierungschancengesetz (QCG) support will primarily be offered to people currently in employment to allow them to receive further vocational training. A number of requirements must be fulfilled under the state program. The following information provides guidance on the subsidies:
Course focus: Training should help people in work deepen their professional know-how and acquire qualifications that will be important in the future.
Organization: Courses must be conducted by a certified establishment such as Berlitz.
Duration: Vocational training must last at least 120 hours.
