Further training after parental leave: new opportunities for your career

Parental leave offers a unique opportunity to reshape your career prospects. Whether returning to work after parental leave or making a lateral move into a future-proof industry: with the right further training, there are many opportunities for a fulfilling career after parental leave.

Parental leave as an opportunity for a new start

After parental leave, many parents want to return to work in a job that better fulfils their new needs and interests. The flexible working environment of the IT sector offers ideal conditions for this. With targeted further training, for example in an IT boot camp, mums and dads can acquire the necessary skills to successfully enter the IT sector or advance their career in this field.

IT bootcamp: a quick and practical way to reach your goal

An IT bootcamp is an intensive and practice-orientated training course that teaches the necessary basics for a job in the IT sector in a short space of time. In the bootcamps, participants learn programming, web development, databases and cloud computing, among other things. The courses are specially designed for career changers and offer an ideal opportunity to quickly and effectively immerse yourself in the world of IT.

Advantages of a career change into IT

The IT sector offers excellent job opportunities and high salaries. IT specialists are urgently needed in all areas of the economy, so the prospects of a well-paid and secure job after an IT bootcamp are very good.

Work-life balance in the IT sector

The IT industry offers many opportunities for a good work-life balance. Flexible working hours, home office options and family-friendly corporate cultures are widespread in the industry. This makes it easy for mums and dads to combine family and career.

Part-time bootcamps for flexible further training

Many IT bootcamps are also offered as part-time bootcamps. This option allows parents to complete their training while caring for their children. This allows them to achieve their career goals step by step without having to give up their family. At neue fische, we offer part-time bootcamps, such as our Data Part-time courses, in which you learn everything you need for a successful start in the tech industry remotely (live online) within 26 weeks, from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 1 pm. 

Funding opportunities for further training

Various funding options are available for further training after parental leave. For example, you can apply for education funding ("Bildungsgutschein") and qualification funding. The employment agency and job centres also offer support in financing further training.

Conclusion: Further training after parental leave - the key to new career opportunities

Parental leave offers an excellent opportunity to reorganise your career and open up new prospects. With further training, for example in an IT boot camp, mothers and fathers can acquire the necessary qualifications to successfully enter the IT sector or advance their career in this field. The flexible working environment of the IT sector also offers ideal conditions for a good work-life balance.
