Is training worthwhile at all?

A question that you should also ask yourself if you don't already do it: Is it worth it at all, time and Money in a Further Training zu invest? Bring them Further Training actually the hoped-for increase in salary, the new job or the more orders for which you would like to further educate yourself?

Statistics on the acceptance of further training?

Unfortunately, no statistics are published in Germany about acceptance and Success of further training in the labor market. This is also certainly related to the breadth and unmanageability of the offer.

The Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) asks around 4.500 further education institutions several times a year about trends and qualification needs of further education. However, information about the success of further training can only be derived indirectly here.

Integration Statistics of the Federal Agency for Labor

The books on the subject (advertising)

A slightly better source is the inclusion statistics of the Federal Agency for Employment, which are only recorded by the training financed by the Arbeitsagentur. According to this, approximately 60% of the participants are no longer unemployed six months after graduation.

But beware: This group includes not only employees subject to social security contributions but also those who are now in 400-Euro jobs and other precarious jobs, as well as those who have become self-employed after the training. It is also not clear from the statistics which occupations are pursued afterwards and whether they have anything to do with further education at all.

Younger people have better chances

But the statistics show quite clear There is also a trend: Younger graduates of further training and better qualified employees, such as those who have completed a vocational qualification, have better chances of finding a job after further training. In addition, are evident Measures, which were carried out directly in the company, were particularly successful.

Another possibility: Ask Contact the educational institution where you would like to complete your further training directly for information about the chances of finding the job or position you are hoping for after completing the further training. In any case, you should take a closer look at the training provider personally.

Often, information is missing

Discounts for your success (advertising)!

However, a test by Stiftung Warentest in the November 2003 issue shows that the Consulting information on this topic is often missing. So you have to specifically ask for it. For example, depending on which test is taken at the end.

When it comes to vocational qualifications, be sure to inquire whether the exam that you take at the end of the further training course is also state-recognized. For voice and ITqualifications you should, for example, look at an international or at least Europe-wide recognition respect, think highly of.

Information of professional associations

Information on the recognition of further training is given depending on the Industry also the respective professional associations. Further education institutions often keep internal statistics on the success of their graduates:

How many graduates find a job afterwards? What is the failure rate? And is there a survey of participants, like satisfied they were with the course? Ask specifically whether you are allowed to view such information (there may be data protection laws Problems).

Training must be practical

In the case of further vocational training, it is also important that the training is practical: if the further training includes internships and project work or is even carried out on a dual basis in the company, in addition to the practical parts, this improves the chances of getting a job afterwards, maybe even in the appropriate one Company to obtain.

If, on the other hand, you receive only very generalized and inaccurate answers to a specific question about the content and usefulness of further training, or if the provider refuses to provide information, you should be suspicious. A more objective picture may be obtained by participants who have already completed their training or are still involved, For example, via the bulletin boards, internet forums, the educational institution or the work advisor of the employment agency.

Contact to graduates

Even if they are of course not allowed to give out addresses because of data protection, you may be able to in individual cases Contact to produce graduates. Ultimately, however, you must face up to it Eyes mean that no one can really tell you whether the further training will help you.

It may be that a measure that People brought something, does not bring you anything at all and vice versa. That always depends on what you make of it.
