This is how the course is structured

Module 01

Perspective: I

In the initial phase, we analyze together what you really need for your career path. We look at your previous experience, your interests and your personal strengths.

It's all about you!

Module 02

Your focus

Family and career are not a contradiction. Together we will look at what you really need and which career opportunities suit your everyday family life.

In this way, you will develop a perspective for your re-entry or a professional reorientation.

 

Module 03

Your future

The job market is changing and we are changing with it. In this module, you will learn about suitable professional fields and examine your realistic entry options.
Together we will develop a concrete plan with clear next steps for your professional future.

If further training or an additional qualification makes sense, we will show you suitable options - so that you can pursue your career with pleasure and perspective.

Module 04

Your application

We create your professional application documents - from CV to cover letter.

In interview training, you strengthen your self-confidence and learn how to present yourself clearly and convincingly.

Module 05

Option: Language

In this voluntary module, you will improve your German specifically for everyday working life.

In specialist language courses for nursing or education, you can practise typical professional situations and gain more linguistic confidence.

Modules 06

Professional knowledge

Insights into social and nursing professions, the school and daycare system in Germany as well as a wide range of fields of activity - from supplementary workers and school support to nursing assistance and other social professions.

You will spend four weeks immersed in the world of work and will explore your strengths and goals. After that, you'll know where you want to go - and how to get there.
