Opportunities for part -time training: Ladies breakfast in Aalen enthusiastic!

A special meeting takes place in Aalen today: The ladies breakfast of the Diakonie Ostalb invites women to discover the opportunities of part -time training. Hanady Preuß, from the Diakonieverband Ostalb, leads through the event, which focuses on the different facets of part -time training. The event not only promises inspiration, but also useful information on vocational training.

As a guest speaker, Sylvia Gremerath appears, the representative for equal opportunities on the labor market at the Aalen employment agency. It talks about the various models of part-time training and the legal and funding opportunities that are available for interested women. The response among the participants is consistently positive, and Gremerath emphasizes how advantageous this form of training for mothers, caring relatives and women with family obligations.

adaptation to modern needs

The part -time training in the Vocational Training Act (BBiG) has been anchored since 2005. A significant expansion of this form of training was achieved by the Vocational Training Modernization Act, which came into force from January 1, 2020. The new regulations enable young people who are unable to complete regular training for various reasons. During part -time training, a shortened training period is no longer required, which means that it can now be designed more flexibly.

This flexibility opens up many new possibilities: daily or weekly training times can be reduced by up to 50 percent. This not only makes access to people with family responsibility, but also for people with impairments and refugees. Part-time training thus offers full professional qualification that can be easily reconciled with further life tasks, such as educational or care obligations.

successful exam quotas

statistics show that part -time training is successful in practice. In 2018, around 92 percent of part -time trainees successfully took part in the final exams. Interest in part -time training courses is growing, even if the proportion of part -time debtors compared to the total number of new degrees is only 0.4 percent. The agencies for work and chambers strive to increase the attractiveness and accessibility of this form of training and offer various consulting services.

A final word from the organizer Hanady Preuss summarizes the mood perfectly: "If I had no training yet, I would burn for it now!" The Diakonie Ostalb is also planning further events to support women in their way in training and work.

For all those who have questions about part -time training, the representatives are available for equal opportunities on the labor market. Ms. Ötj from the Oldenburg-Wilhelmshaven employment agency also offers comprehensive information and individual advice.
