For the first time, the Maxhütte Technologie vocational training center launched the integration course “Metalworking and language support for asylum seekers and foreigners” in cooperation with the ISE Language and Vocational Training Center and the Employment Agency in September 2016. On the site of the former Maxhütte, young refugees learn the basics of metalworking. The aim is to introduce young asylum seekers and refugees to professional life. Over ten months, the participants alternate between job-related language lessons and metalworking. Every day, the young people first learn the German language in the morning, followed by practical lessons in the MH main workshop in the afternoon. In a company internship for two months, the participants can then put the specialist knowledge they have learned into practice and make contacts with employers. The young refugees from the Amberg-Sulzbach district and the city of Amberg will also continue to develop their social skills during the 12 months.
