WeGebAU – funded further training for your employees!

The selection of new trainees is always a time-consuming process that has to be managed at the same time as everyday tasks. Our professional employment agents take the most time-consuming steps of the selection process off your hands and – if requested – carry out professional interviews with you. Finally, if you wish, you will receive a recommendation from the ISE staff. Important: you make the final decision about who can do training with you!
