The Job-Turbo initiative, spearheaded by the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS), aims to integrate refugees into the labour market at an early stage and as permanently as possible after having acquired basic German language skills. The objective is to provide active support for placements in jobs directly after successful completion of the integration course. This is intended to boost integration processes and ensure that refugees are put in a position of securing their own livelihoods and shaping their career prospects more rapidly.

More information on Job-Turbo can be found at www.bmas.de/job-turbo and at www.arbeitsagentur.de/k/job-turbo.

Further language skills will then be acquired in vocational language courses part-time while working. From the end of January, a new feature will be special job vocational training courses directly in the company, which can be integrated into the everyday work life. This course is intended for adults who have already completed an integration course up to at least A2 level and already have a job or who have received a firm offer of a workplace.
