On the mountain. (usc) The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) started a pilot project together with the job center in the ISE language and vocational training center to provide people with a migrant background with a job in the cleaning and housekeeping professions.
The Federal Office deliberately kept the number of participants from the group of recognized refugees small in order to be able to respond individually to the group members, explained Rainer Liermann, employment placement team leader at the job center. In the measure, six women and one man from Syria and Iraq are being prepared for relevant helper jobs on the primary labor market.
A special vocational language course is necessary for this, as the people being cared for have a low level of education or qualifications. In other words: You will learn work-related German with practical work in the areas of cleaning and housekeeping.
Qualified ISE staff, Elisabeth Sperl and housekeeping master Alexandra Blößl, are available for training in the learning and teaching workshops. The two specialists supervise the course with 400 hours of subject-specific German lessons and, in parallel, 200 practical lessons in the ISE practice rooms.
The aim of the measure is to prepare the participants for work in a team at building cleaning companies. For the second focus, housekeeping, the trainers enable the participants to work in commercial kitchens/canteens, restaurants, retirement homes and laundries.
And what is the demand in the professions in question? Rainer Liermann says: “We have identified a great need there.” He is convinced that the man and the six women can be placed in a job subject to social insurance contributions after their training ends on September 9th.
