Vocational Language Training Plus [BQS+]

The BQS+ program makes it possible to offer high-quality vocational language training as an additional component within or in close connection with qualification measures supported by job centers, employment agencies or within the framework of the Hessian labor market support program, or to improve the quality of the existing language offerings of the labor market-related measure.

Target group

• The target group are adults who are unemployed or at risk of unemployment, including in particular the long-term unemployed, unskilled and semi-skilled workers and people with multiple problems
• The target group also includes disadvantaged young people at the transition from school to work
• In principle, the persons to be supported must have a need for professional German language support

Goals

The aim of the BQS+ funding is to support and encourage participants in labor market policy measures in Hesse to acquire German job-related language skills for better integration into training and employment.

Content & Services

• High-quality vocational language training as an integral part of the qualification
• The core element of vocational language training is the conceptual and didactic linking of subject content of the basic measure with elements of language acquisition, including through the use of scenario didactics
• Vocational language training is implemented in three possible forms: team teaching (subject teacher and language teacher lead the subject lessons together), language support lessons (additional learning units by the language teacher), and supplementary units (e.g. online learning).

Duration & Course

Duration and course depend on the underlying basic measure.
