About us
Our founder, Milena Pflügl, is a mother of two and has worked in the education system all her life. In management positions at the major textbook publishers Klett and Cornelsen, she successfully developed digital learning solutions. As a member of the board of Germany's largest education association, the Didacta Association, she is in close contact with the education ministries of the federal states. Her insight in recent years is that our education system is under great pressure. What German daycare centers and schools need most right now are employees.
Fast lateral entry as a pedagogical assistant
A career with children in daycare centers and schools used to only be open to educators, curative education nurses, social pedagogues and teachers after years of training or study. However, the education system is opening up to career changers. A quicker entry into employment is possible as a “supplementary educational worker”. Supplementary staff are valuable team members in daycare centers, schools, after-school care and school support. After being hired, they have access to many shortened, in-service qualification paths to become a pedagogical specialist (e.g. educator). Our further training to become a learning and development assistant prepares them specifically for lateral entry.
Potential employers
Our guiding principles
Our mission is to firmly anchor people in working life with free, high-quality education via the education voucher system. By working closely with employers and education ministries, we tailor our content precisely to the labor market and ensure that participants are taken on in permanent positions. After completing their training, our participants should be successful on the job market in the long term and independent of unemployment or citizens' benefits.
One day per week for practical experience in a nearby daycare center or school. Our participants gain valuable insights into working with children and learn to work in a team - an essential part of our training.
Our curriculum in the modern virtual classroom teaches the basics of pedagogical work, true to the motto „How do children work?“. Lessons in the mornings, flexible learning times in the afternoons - so that further education fits in with life.
Learn together, grow together: our courses offer fixed groups, live sessions and practical tasks. The exchange with experts and other career changers boosts motivation and creates valuable networks.
Our training prepares you for a variety of roles: School support, daycare and after-school care as well as childcare in private households. This gives participants the opportunity to flexibly enter various social professions.
Education in Germany is a matter for the federal states - and we know the specifics of each state. This is how we ensure that our training is optimally tailored to regional requirements.
We leave no one on their own: from internship to employment, we accompany participants through the entire journey. Thanks to our network and intensive preparation, we maximize their chances of successful integration into the job market.
Ready to take the next step in your meaningful career in the social and educational sector with us?
Together with my network of education experts, I have developed a unique training program that enables career changers from all over the world to find secure and well-paid work in the German education system.
