Oberhausen Vocational Promotion Agency
The Oberhausen Vocational Promotion Agency (BFW Oberhausen) is a non-profit institution for vocational promotion and pursues a socio-political mandate with the aim of integrating those undergoing rehabilitation into the labor market after completing their qualification and thus enabling those affected to actively participate in working life again. The BFW Oberhausen is a member of the Federal Association of German Professional Development Organizations . The BFW Oberhausen has a branch in Krefeld , in which services in the field of career finding and work trials are offered.
history
The BFW Oberhausen was founded on October 1st, 1978 in a newly built complex of buildings on the site of the former Concordia colliery . The sponsor is the North Rhine-Westphalian Berufsförderungswerk e. V. of the German Pension Insurance Rhineland and the German Pension Insurance Westphalia . Since 1978, 20,000 people have completed an apprenticeship at the BFW, and around 70 percent of the graduates found a suitable job in the newly learned profession or related area.
deals
The Oberhausen Vocational Promotion Agency offers around 900 training positions in 30 occupational fields in commercial, industrial-technical, social, health and IT professions. The training period at the BFW is shortened to two years in the majority of professions. At the end of the vast majority of training courses, there is a final examination before the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or the relevant body at chamber level.
In addition to the recognized training occupations , shorter (a few weeks up to 18 months) qualifications can be completed in which the participants e.g. B. acquire an IHK or a BFW certificate. During their training, the participants are looked after by doctors, social pedagogues and psychologists - the so-called accompanying services.
In cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Düren Vocational Promotion Agency , the BFW Oberhausen has been offering a qualification measure since 1997 in which people with disabilities are trained to become administrative employees for the state service within eight months.
With in-company rehabilitation, the BFW offers a measure that enables people to retrain directly in the company. The BFW takes on the placement of rehabilitation candidates and operations as well as personal qualification support as well as advisory, coordination and documentation tasks.
As part of the job search, the BFW Oberhausen offers various measures for people who lack a concrete idea of the career path. This includes workload testing (ABE), a measure of medical-vocational rehabilitation that pursues the goal of finding out together with the rehabilitants which activities are still possible, what the performance looks like and which steps are necessary in order to gain a foothold in a professional environment .
