Entry Qualification: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how this internship scheme helps young job seekers gain experience through state-subsidized placements.

The Entry Qualification is a state-subsidized internship program designed to help young people gain practical work experience.

Who it's for

This scheme is for young job seekers who are having difficulty finding a traditional apprenticeship.

What you get

You can participate in an internship that lasts between 6 and 12 months. During this time, the state provides subsidies to the company hosting you, allowing you to gain hands-on experience in a professional environment.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary cost to join, but you will need to spend time and effort finding a company that is willing to host you for the duration of the program.

The catch to know

It is important to remember that this is a bridge to help you move forward; it is a temporary placement and not a permanent job.

How to apply

  1. Research local companies in your field of interest.
  2. Contact potential employers to see if they participate in the program.
  3. Once you find a host, coordinate with the relevant employment agency.
  4. Complete the necessary paperwork required by the government body.
