Funding for your program

AVGS & Education Voucher

With a voucher from the Agentur für Arbeit or the Jobcenter you take part in our programs free of charge — we show you how to obtain it.

What are the AVGS and the education voucher?

The activation and placement voucher (AVGS, also called Vermittlungsgutschein) is issued by the Agentur für Arbeit or the Jobcenter. It entitles you to use a private provider admitted for this purpose free of charge — both for job placement and for activation and coaching programs under § 45 SGB III.

The education voucher (Bildungsgutschein) is its counterpart for vocational further training: it covers the cost of a certified qualification program, frequently including travel and childcare costs.

In both cases the responsible funding body decides on the funding. If it is approved for our program, we settle directly with the funding body — which means no course fees for you.
