Nursing assistants continue to be in demand in practice

On the mountain. (usc) The European Social Fund (ESF) provides significant resources for measures to reintegrate people into the labor market. This is currently being done for a qualification measure to become a nursing assistant at the ISE Language and Education Center in Amberg. 20 women and men go to school for nine months. There are very good career prospects.

Co-financing is provided by the Amberg-Sulzbach job center, whose manager, Sonja Schleicher, took plenty of time with her employment placement team leader, Rainer Liermann, to get a personal impression of the training in theory and practice. Your verdict, one can assume, was very positive.
With the knowledge and skills to be acquired, the course participants will be able to take up employment subject to social insurance contributions or to take up one-year or three-year training to become a state-certified nursing assistant or a state-certified geriatric nurse at a vocational school. According to the teacher, Thomas Klein, there are currently four classes in the ISE geriatric nursing school.

Experience has shown that a certain number of ESF nursing qualification course participants transfer to the ISE vocational school. The fact that, in view of demographic change, course graduates have good career prospects in nursing homes or outpatient care, for example, and can finally finance their own living is also an incentive to continue training at the ISE geriatric care school.

According to ISE managing director Peter Blendowski, course participants receive intensive support when applying for a position in the nursing assistant sector. For anyone who still needs a job after completing the course, the ISE Language and Vocational Training Center offers further support in finding a job. Specifically, participants can, for example, come to ISE on a fixed weekly date and get help there in putting together their application documents.

In the past 27 years of existence, over 16,000 participants have received the best possible training and professional integration in a variety of courses, retraining, support and placement measures at the ISE language and vocational training center and the ISE vocational school for geriatric care.
