Supervised company retraining [bbU Reha]

A solid vocational training is an important prerequisite for career success and the best insurance against unemployment. With our supported company-based retraining program [bbU Reha], we support you on your path to a new career.

You will complete retraining in a recognized apprenticeship occupation. To help you get started with learning, we offer a preparatory course (RVL) to refresh your academic knowledge. During the RVL, we will support you in choosing a retraining occupation that is appropriate for your health situation and will work with you to find a suitable training company near your home. During the on-the-job retraining, we offer occupation-specific support services and are available to you and your employer for advice and practical assistance. Retraining in a regular company increases your career prospects.
