Interviews with the Jobcenter should be prepared. Documents that are recommended to be with the person during these interviews:
- Current and signed Lebenslauf,
- Relevant documents if the Anerkennung of the university diploma has been completed,
- Relevant documents if the Übersetzung of the university diploma has been completed,
- Language certificates,
- Umschulung zum Fachinformatiker Systemintegration or research in the fields in which Umschulung is desired.
- Praktikumsbericht= If the internship has been completed, the result document received from the relevant company/institution (This internship must be related to the department or job in which the university graduated. In addition, the individual himself can write a report regarding the internship.)
- Tendenzerkennung list (Approximately 10 job postings that fall within the field of your previous work or Anerkennung graduation should be analyzed one by one. These job postings should be transferred to the Excel list and what you can do with the desired features should be written.)
- Documents and studies showing your interest in the field in which we want to pursue Umschulung (For example, documents regarding courses followed on online platforms.)
- Documents received during volunteer work
Particularly, at https://www.ihk-fachkraefte-nrw.de/index.html, statistical information regarding the Umschulung profession you are interested in, showing the job openings that will arise in the coming years and the number of people to apply, can also be provided.
Meeting with a Consultant
The advisor is taking a course/project etc. If there are any questions regarding this, brief information should be given. The process from the last meeting to the current period should be summarized.
If Praktikum has been held, this issue should be mentioned. A Praktikum report or a report you have written yourself must be submitted.
The consultant can offer alternatives and suggest that if the practice has been done in a government agency, it should also be tried in the civilian sector.
If you have one, you can express your Umschulung request and show the research you have done on this subject. You can prove that Umschulung in the field of IT is suitable for you with the certificates you have received.
The consultant can also recommend Umschulung (betriebliche Umschulung) through the company. In this type of Umschulung, training is given 3 days a week in the company and 2 days in the school. Personnel who do Umschulung study with those who do Ausbildung (3 years), starting from the 2nd year of those who do Ausbildung. A certain salary is received from the company. But the Jobcenter will deduct some of it from your monthly salary. After completing the Umschulung, the possibility of getting a job in the same company is very high. The task of finding the company is yours. So, you must find the companies that offer Umschulung and apply yourself. The number of these applications may increase. Waiting time may be longer. If you cannot find the company, the Jobcenter tool is the last one. This means waste of time.
If you receive Umschulung education through an educational institution, you do not receive any extra salary. You receive approximately 18 months of theoretical training and 6 months of practical training.
In the last stage, you need to go to Berufspsychologischen Service. After the counselor decides to send it to the Berufspsychologischen Service, he does the rest himself.
