Qualification, vocational training and integration

At the Center ÜBERLEBEN, we are committed to vocational qualification, training, labour market integration, catching up on school-leaving qualifications and preparing people with refugee and migration experiences for employment. We see diversity as an asset, which is why we bring together people from different parts of the world with different biographies. It is important to us to create an environment for our clients, course participants and students in which they can learn new things, build on previous knowledge and optimise their resources. Our target group-specific programmes are designed to enable our graduates and clients to successfully navigate and establish themselves on the labour market.

Education and vocational training is fundamental to social participation, which is why we are especially committed to supporting people who face particular barriers in accessing education and the labour market. To this end, the Center ÜBERLEBEN offers educational programmes that are specially designed to meet the needs of the target group. Two departments at the Center ÜBERLEBEN play a key role in shaping these tasks – the Department for Refugee Services and the Paulo Freire Vocational School.

Our Offers

In the department for refugee services, refugees receive a variety of support services ranging from psychological, legal and social counselling to courses for professional qualification and placement in vocational training and work. The dedicated employees are not only committed to providing individual support to their clients, but also work at a professional and political level to improve healthcare and inclusion for their target group.

At the same time, the Paulo Freire vocational school at the Center ÜBERLEBEN offers state-recognised training in social assistance.The school not only teaches the basics for a successful entry into a sought-after professional field, but also offers courses to catch up on school-leaving qualifications and basic nursing courses.The school is committed to transcultural care and training practice and supports students and participants in becoming competent care assistants. In addition to the educational programmes, participants and students receive language support, tutoring and social counselling. A central goal of our vocational school is to overcome exclusion and marginalisation and to pave the way to independence for graduates by integrating them into a sought-after professional field.
