Introductory training (EQ)

For recognised refugees, asylum seekers and persons resident with special leave to remain (Geduldeten), it offers the chance to become integrated in the day-to-day working processes of a company over a period of six to twelve months. This may provide an opportunity for individuals to prepare for possible vocational education and training. Introductory training is exempted from the minimum wage.

Pre-vocational training measures (BvB)

Pre-vocational training measures are a preparation for integration into training (or commencement of employment). They are intended as a means of guidance to help an individual make the right career choice. As part of this, a range of placements are completed and classes are attended in a school. It is also possible to take the lower secondary school leaving certificate if this has not already been obtained.
