When is it possible to apply for the coming training year?
At the end of the school year in Baden-Württemberg, we publish our job advertisements for apprenticeships and dual study programs starting the following September.
How long does it take after an application in August to receive an invitation to the selection process?
The selection procedures start in mid-September. Invitations are sent out around 2 to 3 weeks in advance. After confirmation of receipt, it may take a few weeks to hear back - especially during the vacation period. As a general rule, if you don't hear anything for a long time, you are still in the running.
What should I do if a desired training occupation or course of study is not advertised?
Then there are no more places available for this start date. Job advertisements remain online until all vacancies have been filled. As soon as a vacancy is no longer visible, we can no longer accept applications for it.
Tip: The job newsletter regularly informs you about new vacancies - so you might be able to find a job next year.
