Apprenticeships

With the ARRIVO BERLIN training initiative, the Senate Department for Integration, Labour and Social Affairs supports model projects for the labour market integration of refugees. The aim of the projects is to familiarize refugees with the skills required for the respective occupational area, to further qualify them, to prepare them for training and to continue to support them during their training.

Since April 2016, the Berufsförderungswerk der Fachgemeinschaft Bau Berlin und Brandenburg gGmbH has been offering vocational preparation measures in the main construction trade for refugees at the Lehrbauhof in Marienfelde. This introduces refugees to the German labour market and prepares them for training in professions in the construction industry. Accompanying German and mathematics lessons in preparation for the subsequent vocational school lessons play a special role here. If successfully completed, the participants are placed in an apprenticeship at the end of the project.
