3.4.3.1. Aim

To ensure the provision of training and further training to the unemployed.

3.4.3.2. Legal Basis

  • - § 32 in conjunction with § 34 AMS Act (1994);
  • - Guidelines of the AMS.

    3.4.3.3. Contents

    The further training establishments and training centres operated by the social partners are among the institutions which are most frequently commissioned by the AMS to carry out labour market training schemes. The social partners also operate their own training centres for the vocational rehabilitation of disabled persons (vocational training and rehabilitation centres). The AMS also commissions numerous other educational institutions to carry out vocational training, retraining and further training schemes.

    3.4.3.4. Financial Resources

    The institutions receive subsidies which reimburse up to 100% of expenditure linked to training courses (training personnel, material costs). The AMS also cofinances building and installation costs for the social partners' training centres.

    Aid to institutions is financed from labour market policy funds (employer and employee contributions to unemployment insurance, federal contribution, ESF).

    3.4.3.5. Institutional Support

    Regional offices in cooperation with the competent Land office of the AMS.
