What forms of support are available for re-entry?

Preparing for a return to work is challenging. The good thing is that you don't have to do everything on your own. Returning to work is an important step in your working life and is accompanied and supported by advice centers. In addition, numerous courses are offered that are precisely tailored to the needs of people returning to work.

Consultations

You can find advice and support for your re-entry from public and private career advice centers.

During the consultation, you will assess your current situation, discuss your new professional goal and see whether you meet the admission requirements and what additional measures you can take to achieve your goal. You will then plan your next steps.

If you wish, you can also be supported in the next steps, such as preparing your application dossier, searching for a job and contacting potential employers.

Courses

Many public and private providers offer courses to prepare for returning to work. For example, refresher and further training courses in general education subjects such as mathematics or English. Or industry-specific courses such as accounting and computer courses. In the commercial and medical sectors, as well as in some other professions, you will find courses that are specifically geared towards returning to work.

Career and career counseling services can also help you choose suitable courses.
