Supervised company retraining [bbU Reha]

Solid vocational training is an important prerequisite for professional success and the best insurance against unemployment. With our supervised in-company retraining program (bbU Reha), we support you on your path to a new career.

You are completing retraining in a recognized vocational training occupation. To introduce you to learning, we offer you the opportunity to refresh your academic knowledge in a preparatory course (RVL). During the RVL, we will support you in selecting a retraining occupation appropriate to your health situation and work with you to find a suitable retraining company close to your home. During the company-based retraining, we offer you career-specific support programs and are available to you and your company with advice and support. Retraining in a "normal" company increases your career entry opportunities.
