Inter-company apprenticeship training

There is the possibility that you can complete your apprenticeship without having an apprenticeship contract with a company. You will then have a contract with the training institution and learn the skills you need to successfully complete your apprenticeship. 

The prerequisite for completing an inter-company apprenticeship is that you have completed your compulsory schooling and that you have not been able to find a new apprenticeship or a new apprenticeship despite your efforts to find an apprenticeship. 

You must meet the above requirements and register as an apprenticeship seeker with the Public Employment Service

Yes. The aim of the inter-company apprenticeship is to enable you to train in the respective apprenticeship even though you have not been able to find an apprenticeship. If you find a company that takes you on during your training, you can and should complete your apprenticeship there. 

No. If you can't find a company during your training, you can also learn the practical part at the training facility and complete the final apprenticeship examinations as part of the inter-company apprenticeship. You are considered an apprentice and are legally equivalent to apprentices who do their training in a company.

You will not receive a salary, but a training allowance from the Public Employment Service. This amounts to € 385.50 per month for the first and second years of apprenticeship and € 890.70 per month from the third year of apprenticeship onwards (as of 07/2024).
