Great success in qualifying as a nursing assistant

22 participants successfully completed the project to promote and improve their chances on the job market! With the qualification project to become a nursing assistant, the ISE Sprach- und Berufsbildungszentrum GmbH has been able to recruit 22 participants since it was launched in July 2013 to continue their training and work on their professional qualifications.

They were able to complete the qualification with some very good grades and acquired the supervision certificate in accordance with Section 87 b. This is the first step towards reintegration. Some participants have already started working. Others aim to train as a nursing assistant at a vocational school. A total of 22 of all long-term unemployed people successfully completed the project and successfully completed at least one qualification module. A total of 16 participants even completed all qualification modules with good performance and thus received the coveted overall certificate.

The project was supported by the ISE Sprach- und Berufsbildungszentrum GmbH and the Jobcenter Amberg-Sulzbach and co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF).

Important foundation for the labor market

The Bavarian Ministry of Labor is doing everything it can to keep the unemployment rate in Bavaria low and to actively counter the impending shortage of skilled workers. This is where the ESF comes into play. For over 50 years, as a so-called structural fund, it has ensured that the employment and work opportunities of people in Europe are improved. This makes the ESF the most important funding instrument of the European Union (EU) in the area of ​​labor market policy. Initiatives and projects are supported that improve the qualifications of long-term unemployed people and employees and create additional training positions. The ESF also supports projects that increase equal opportunities, strengthen social inclusion and promote entrepreneurship while expanding cross-border employment. From 2007 to 2013, Bavaria invested around 630 million euros in sustainable qualification and labor market projects. Half of this, around 310 million euros, is co-financed by the ESF.
