How to Get Free Career Coaching in Germany

Details

Are you an English-speaking expat in Germany? Did you know you can qualify for a government-funded career coaching voucher—even if you’re still working, freelancing, or here on a spouse visa?

Join us for a practical, supportive meetup where you’ll unravel the step-by-step process to secure an AVGS (career coaching) voucher from the Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter. This session is for English-speaking professionals in Germany who are thinking about a career change, currently jobless, or worried about future layoffs—and want government-sponsored career coaching but aren’t sure how to get started.

  1. Who’s Eligible?
  • Busting myths: You don’t need to be unemployed! See if you, as a freelancer, Blue Card holder, or still-employed expat, qualify.
  1. What Will They Ask You?
  • Get a quick walkthrough of the real Agentur für Arbeit questions and what they want to see in your application.
  1. How to Make Your Case:
  • Learn proven tips to stand out, show your motivation, and address common objections.
  1. Appeals & Picking the Right Coach:
  • What to do if you’re rejected or assigned the wrong coach.
  1. Ask Me Anything:
  • Bring your situation—leave with answers, a checklist, and a clear plan!

No fluff, just practical guidance—walk away ready to apply and finally unlock your funded career coaching in Germany.
