Measures for activation and professional integration; application for funding at the employment agency

If you are unemployed, threatened by unemployment or looking for training, you can be supported by measures that facilitate your professional (re-)entry.

Responsible for you

Agentur für Arbeit Rosenheim Geschäftsstelle Bad Tölz

Procedure details

The Employment Agency can promote measures to support you in your professional (re)integration and to improve your chances of integration in the labor market. In detail, these measures for activation and professional integration aim to,

  • To introduce you to the training and labor market and to identify, reduce or eliminate obstacles to placement that make your professional integration more difficult,
  • to provide you with employment that is subject to compulsory insurance,
  • introduce you to self-employment, or
  • to stabilize the start of employment.

You can participate in measures with an institution or an employer. In addition, you can receive an activation and placement voucher to engage a private employment agency.

The Employment Agency can commission agencies to carry out the measures and assign you a place to participate.

However, you can also receive an activation and placement voucher from the Employment Agency to register with a provider of your choice. The voucher contains information on the goal and content of the measure, which will be discussed and agreed with you in advance.

The maximum possible duration of support depends on the objective of the measure and your individual support needs and is partly regulated by law. For example, measures can take place with an employer for a maximum of 6 weeks. If you are long-term unemployed or have special placement obstacles, you can participate for up to 12 weeks.

The duration of the vocational training may not exceed 8 weeks. Longer qualifications or measures leading to a vocational qualification can be funded for adults through the promotion of further vocational training (education voucher).

The Employment Agency will inform and advise you about offers and funding opportunities.

There is no legal entitlement to this support. Your employment agency decides whether and to what extent you will receive support.

Exception: After six weeks of unemployment and entitlement to unemployment benefits, you generally have a legal claim to an activation and placement voucher for commissioning a private employment agency.
