Advising and supporting trainees and training employers
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzTraining employers, retraining institutions and providers of pre-vocational training schemes as well as trainees, retrainees and those undergoing pre-vocational training preparation – all receive advice and support from the relevant competent authorities.
You can contact the authority responsible for your training regarding topics such as conflicts between trainees and businesses, issues concerning schemes to prepare trainees or opportunities for periods spent abroad. Depending on the profession and region this may be, for example, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) or an alternative chamber.
As a company, retraining organisation or vocational training preparation provider, you provide advisors with all the necessary information and documents and also grant them access to training establishments.
If you want to spend part of your vocational education and training abroad, the chamber will advise you on this. If you wish to be abroad for longer than eight weeks, your training employer and the chamber will coordinate to draw up a special training plan.
