We run six different courses, which we advertise under the name “Work Readiness” course. “Work Readiness” means ‘fit for the job’. This is exactly what we want to achieve with the courses – to equip people so that they are able to find vacant jobs, apply for them and keep their jobs in the long term.

The first part of the course is the same. It lasts two weeks and participants learn how to find vacancies (including on the usual industry-related platforms), prepare marketable application documents and apply for jobs. Job interviews are practiced.  Further job search support is also part of the course.  

The second part of the course is the job-related part and covers various areas of the job market. The total duration of a course is 4-8 weeks. Of course, theoretical skills such as baking, computer skills or coffee skills are also practiced.  

At the end of the course, each participant receives a certificate on the topics learned, which is helpful when applying for a job.

Housekeeping / Home Management

Here, students learn all the basics for successful house (domestic) keeping work. The course enables participants to work in private households, hotels, guesthouses, or as general cleaners (e.g. in offices, hospitals and schools).

Waitressing / Barista-Course

Participants learn the basics of the waitressing profession (like taking reservations, serving guests and cashiering) as well as how to prepare coffee using the large Barista coffee machine. Positions are offered in cafes and mobile coffee carts, restaurants, and events, for example. Also the possibilities of own business is very good in this sector.
