The decision to retrain can be the first step toward a future-proof career. With a focus on promising industries, numerous opportunities are opening up:

  • Web development: A particularly attractive field for creative problem solvers. The high demand for qualified specialists offers security and numerous job opportunities.

Role of the Employment Agency in retraining

The Employment Agency plays a central role in retraining by providing important support and financial assistance. Here are some key functions:

Retraining offers a wide range of advantages for career changers. It enables you to obtain a new professional qualification, which promotes your career development. Retraining significantly increases your chances on the job market and thus improves your employability. Transitional benefits such as financial support through education vouchers minimize financial burdens. In addition, retraining makes it easier to find a job and opens the door to new industries where skilled workers are urgently needed. These positive aspects make retraining a valuable step toward a successful career change.
