Apptenticeships with JOBILNGE for young parents

Training with a child?
Young parents on benefits rarely succeed in making a sustainable entry into the primary labor market.
The hurdles they have to overcome are often too great.
This not only has an impact on their current life situation, but also affects their children’s future prospects.
To date, there have been too few offers on the market that accompany young parents with low qualifications or without vocational training on their way into the primary labor market.
This is where we come in.

Why JOBLINGE family?

Over half a million young mothers and fathers under 35 are dependent on state benefits.
Many of them have no training – starting out in working life becomes an obstacle course that is difficult to overcome with family responsibilities.
We want to encourage these young parents, show them their opportunities and develop prospects together.
To do this, we combine our many years of experience in entering the labor market and our strong corporate network with the access and knowledge of our network partners, who support these young families in life-related issues.

How do we do this?

We activate young parents via our network partners or by contacting them directly, even before their parental leave is over, to enable them to (re)start their careers at an early stage. We provide encouragement through role models, highlight opportunities and offer concrete, short-term support – including the search for a nursery. Our support initially takes the form of flexible and digital coaching, which combines career guidance elements and specific job application preparation with parent-specific topics such as work-life balance. Reconciling work and family life. Depending on the need for further support, participation in the more intensive JOBLINGE program is also possible.

What happens next?

In the next step, we want to involve companies more closely and also build on our large corporate network: we need more flexible training models for young people with family responsibilities.
We see an opportunity in the possibility of part-time training.
However, this model is hardly used in practice; only 0.4% of training contracts are currently concluded on a part-time basis, so there is little movement here.
However, this model is hardly used in practice, with only around 0.5% of training contracts currently being concluded on a part-time basis.
We can clearly see that it can be worthwhile for companies to position themselves in a family-conscious way: according to a study by the corporate network “Success Factor Family”, the majority of all employees with family responsibilities consider company family friendliness to be a must.

Marc Aulerich, Recruitment Kita Frankfurt

How do you organize training with children at Kita Frankfurt?

Together with the technical colleges for social work, we sometimes support very different training models.
This allows trainees to decide for themselves what best suits their own situation.
We ourselves are happy to be a professional and reliable point of contact for all practical aspects before, during and after training – and are of course delighted that many people still choose this path even after they have children of their own.

Why is it important for companies to respond to the needs of parents in training? What added value does this have in your view?

Our teams are as colorful as our beautiful city.
Everyone brings something to the table: Skills, specializations, interests – and also their own life circumstances.
We see the diversity of our employees as an enrichment for our everyday pedagogical work.
This starts with training.
Here, it is particularly important to find the right path together with the trainees and the vocational schools and to work together as equals.
Ultimately, this will enable more people to successfully enter our wonderful profession – and thus achieve even more for the children of this city.

What obstacles have you encountered when it comes to training with a child? How did you overcome these challenges?

The training rightly has a high professional standard, which must be met regardless of the form of training – full-time school, part-time or integrated into practice. Training is therefore also an intensive time. You really have to talk at eye level early on about which form of training is feasible for whom. However, with these three forms of training, we are now very well positioned to be able to offer different options in different life situations. But, of course, the trainee is not left out in the cold here, but must ultimately go their own way – with us as a strong partner and companion.

What would you recommend to other companies that do not yet actively promote or employ parents as trainees?

I think it’s important to do everything within your power to ensure that your profession and training are also attractive to people who don’t come straight from school.
For us, this is definitely an important building block in order to have enough skilled workers for our facilities and to ensure that our educational work is well positioned for the future, even in times of a shortage of skilled workers.
