Counseling in the test

If you would like to apply for a grant, such as the education voucher or the education cheque, advice from certain agencies is even available mandatory. But where and from whom can you get advice at all? And which advice is right for you?

Stiftung Warentest has tested various advice centers for further training. Result: If you have a Ms. you should go to a women's counseling center. Because at the tested women's counseling centers, the counselors go directly to your qualifications and then make very concrete suggestions for a suitable further training offer.

The atmosphere is friendly and personal, and the advice is objective. Especially when you, as a woman, return to your home after a break Job If you want to go back, women's counseling centers are an excellent place to go. However, there is also a disadvantage: these advice centers are rare, in some federal states there are none at all, so this can mean that you have to wait a long time for an appointment.

If, however, you are looking for information on funding through the Federal Agency for Employment, the women's counseling offices are the wrong contact persons because they are rather poorly informed. You can then go to the local employment agency as a supplement to your work consultant. Even if you as a man can not go to a women counseling center, the employment agencies can be a first contact person.

Advice from the Employment Agency

But the Stiftung Warentest has found out that employment agencies are particularly advising the unemployed in detail. Those who are not registered as unemployed often turn up at work agencies. Even if the employment agencies are to advise by law also newcomers and recruits, the work consultant is mainly concerned with getting unemployed people from the statistics.

Accordingly, the information for newcomers with career aspirations or employees with future prospects in the testers were generally unsatisfactory.

Consulting by the IHK

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

If you want to complete a training course to improve your career, you should consult a Chamber of Commerce or a Chamber of Crafts - if you work in the craft trade.

The chambers offer a clear advantage: The Adviser usually know very well about the labor market situation in their region and have lots of tips for those who are on the move. The disadvantage: It is not uncommon for them to recommend their own further training offers and are therefore not completely objective.

For workers

On the other hand, if you as an employee are concerned about your professional Perspektive or yours Workplace make or go without klare If you want to inform ideas first, probably more municipal advice centers come into question. It may be possible to combine the consultation here with another consultation. In addition, you can of course get advice directly from the educational institutions where you would like to do the further training.

This advice has the advantage that you go into detail about the chosen further training measure. However, a test by Stiftung Warentest also shows that this type of advice is not always recommended: According to the test, the question of whether you get an education voucher is often the focus of the advice and in one Conversation the tester was even advised to change his place of residence in order to increase his chances of receiving an education voucher. It is much less common in counseling Vocational Training and practical experience of the lecturers, job opportunities after the end of the course or the personal aptitude requirements. You should therefore definitely address these points yourself in a consultation.

This should be clarified with the training provider
