On the mountain. (usc) It takes a lot of energy to get back on track in your professional life, even after a long period of unemployment. 13 women and two men persevered for nine months and ultimately passed the exam to become nursing assistants at the ISE Language and Education Center. Including four single mothers.
The European Social Fund (ESF) and the Amberg-Sulzbach job center each support 45 percent of the course for reintegration into the labor market. The ISE takes care of the rest. Experience to date shows that there is great demand on the local labor market in the area of geriatric care. That's why the job placement team leader at the job center, Rainer Liermann, always tries at the end of a course to get the course participants to further qualify by taking a one-year training course to become a nursing assistant or a three-year training course to become a geriatric nurse. The need for such skilled workers is increasing from year to year.
According to course leader Thomas Klein, among the successful graduates there are also some migrants who had initially successfully taken part in a language course and had not yet come into contact with the topic of geriatric care. Two out of three of them, it was said at the certificate award ceremony, already had an employment contract in their pockets. Overall, there are very favorable placement prospects for all course participants, as Rainer Liermann from the job center reported.
In this context, ISE managing director Peter Blendowski praised the good advice provided by the job center. At the certificate award ceremony, Liermann was “struck and thrilled” by the overall results of the educational measure, in which a social worker from ISE was also involved. Liermann asked the graduates to promote participation in such qualification measures in their private lives based on personal conviction.
