Retraining in Döbeln | Employment office | IHK degree | Saxony | with a future

Basically, a retraining is a special educational offer, which serves for professional reorientation. Retraining offers people with professional experience who have been looking for work for a long time or who can no longer practice their trained profession the ideal opportunity to lay the foundation for a new job. With the help of retraining, a recognized professional qualification can be obtained in a shorter time. As a rule, the duration of a retraining measure is two years. During this time, the participants learn all the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge to complete the final exam at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, to obtain a nationally valid degree and to qualify for a successful career start.

Difference between retraining and apprenticeship:  

Retraining and vocational training have one thing in common: At the end, a state-recognized vocational qualification can be obtained. However, training places are usually intended for young people who have little or no professional experience. An apprenticeship gives you the opportunity to learn a trade for the first time. For this initial training, a longer training period of around three years is usually required. In contrast, retraining constitutes “abridged training”. This form of education is aimed at people who were or are already employed and now want or need to obtain a second professional qualification. Completed vocational training or at least several years of professional experience is a basic requirement for taking part in retraining.

Difference between retraining and advanced training:

Further training is completed in order to expand professional qualifications or to learn new knowledge and skills required for the current profession. It is therefore a deepening of professional skills in order to secure or promote one's own career. At the end of a successful training course, the graduates receive a recognized certificate. With further training, a professional qualification can be acquired, but not a professional qualification.

Difference between retraining and further training:

Retraining is basically a special form of further training. But watch out! Not every further training is also a retraining! The term "further education" is used a lot colloquially and describes a very wide range of different measures for vocational education. In addition to retraining, this also includes various courses, training courses, seminars and training courses, through which employees and those interested in training can obtain certain additional qualifications. Similar to further training, further training is intended to build up and expand job-related skills. However, the qualifications of further training do not necessarily have to be related to the profession learned or practiced. The further training measures can also serve to acquire key competences or general qualifications or to receive professional orientation. In addition, the content and duration of further training are not strictly prescribed. The offer can therefore vary from educational institution to educational institution.

There are basically three different types of retraining: the operational, the intercompany and the scholastic.

The operational retraining is, as the name suggests, carried out directly in the training company. In some cases, the theoretical knowledge is taught at a state school, but schooling is not compulsory. Since the retrainees are employed in a company for the duration of the measure, a low salary is usually paid.

School retraining are completed in vocational schools. There is a high theoretical component here, but usually an internship is also planned. This type of retraining is not remunerated, and additional school fees may even have to be paid.

During one inter-company retraining the measure is divided into two elements: a theoretical and a practical or operational learning phase. The theory lessons are held at a private educational institution, while the practical skills are tested in the course of an internship. This retraining is subject to a fee, but can be subsidized by the state through various cost bearers.
