ARRIVO BERLIN Übungswerkstätten

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.

In the ARRIVO BERLIN training workshops of the S27, refugees are prepared for vocational training in the skilled trades. A course lasts an average of 16 weeks and comprises three modules:

• a language course that teaches vocational vocabulary and career information.
• a workshop course to provide orientation in the various skilled crafts occupational fields
• specialist courses in Berlin craft guilds, where insights into specific professions can be gained

This is followed by a placement in a craft enterprise. Participation is free of charge and possible at any time. The number of places is limited.
