What is a measure taken by an institution (MAT)?

Do you need help creating application documents?
Would you like to know which professions you are best suited for?
Would you like to gain practical experience with an employer but are having difficulty finding a suitable company?

The Job Center offers tailored assistance for these and many other issues as part of a program—feel free to talk to your integration specialist.

What is a measure taken by an employer (MAG)?

Would you like to find out whether a job or employer is right for you? 
We would be happy to check whether we can support a trial period with an employer for a reasonable period of time, including covering travel expenses if necessary. In this case, you will also receive a certificate from us confirming that the measure has been approved by us, which you can present in the event of an inspection or if the employer's accident insurance requires it. 

Please speak to your integration specialist in good time before you start. 

What is a work opportunity (AGH) / 1-euro job?

A so-called "1-euro job" is a work opportunity (AGH) with additional expense allowance. 

For the long-term unemployed who are still unable to find regular work, AGH offers the opportunity to become active in charitable work. The work is in the public interest, e.g., employment in a social department store or as additional support staff in care facilities. 

Working hours & expense allowance

The maximum working time is 30 hours per week. Participants receive an expense allowance of €2 per hour in addition to their citizen's income.
