Pedagogic Centre: Vocational School for Childcare and Professional Academy for Social Pedagogy

The Vocational School for Childcare provides basic knowledge for pedagogical work in various socio-educational fields. The training programme usually lasts two years (full-time), while spending one day a week in a practical centre (e.g. a kindergarten, crèche) and learning the remaining four days in school. The task of a child carer is the upbringing, education and care of children, predominantly from infancy to early school age. The training programme ends with the final examination to become a state-certified child carer.

The training programme at the Professional Academy for Social Pedagogy usually takes 4 years. Educators perform educational, upbringing and care tasks for children, adolescents and young adults aged 0-27 years in the various fields of work independently and on their own responsibility. The successful completion of the training programme leads to recognition as a state-recognised educator.

The pedagogic centre also offers numerous further training activities to specialise in the profession.

Social-integrative Projects

For years, part of our programme has also been taking care and offering vocational perspectives to people in need of extra support. In our activities within the field of social-integrative projects, we offer, for example, courses for young adults, job seekers or people wanting to catch up on their school leaving qualifications. 

The aim of our different courses is to provide training and guidance for the participants. They get to know a variety of employment opportunities, receive assistance with everyday challenges, while figuring out their future career path. We support them, for instance, with practical training in wood or metal workshops, or in theoretical fields like writing CVs and motivation letters.

The aim of these courses is to provide the participants with new perspectives on life, opening up opportunities for them and giving them a chance to (re-)enter the labour market.
