Find your Ausbildung in Germany

An Ausbildung is Germany's paid dual vocational training: you work in a company three to four days a week, attend vocational school the rest, and earn a salary from day one — typically €800–1,300 per month depending on the trade and year. After two to three and a half years you hold a recognized German qualification with excellent job prospects, because Germany is short of skilled workers in care, crafts, logistics, gastronomy and IT. Foreigners can apply: with a visa for vocational training (§16a AufenthG), non-EU candidates can move to Germany once they have a signed training contract.

This page searches the official job board of the Bundesagentur für Arbeit — over 170,000 live Ausbildung positions, with hundreds of new offers added every day. Filter by profession, city and radius, check what was published today, and apply directly on the official site. Before you apply, use our free tools to build a German-style CV and Anschreiben — most rejections happen because the application doesn't follow German conventions, not because of the candidate.
