Then the <strong>Activation and placement voucher (AVGS)<\/strong> just right for you. With this voucher from the Jobcenter or the Employment Agency, you can participate in our measures in Hamburg <strong>completely free of charge<\/strong> participate. In this post, we explain step by step how to get the AVGS and redeem it at DeLingvo.<\/p>\n<h2>What is the AVGS?<\/h2>\n<p>The activation and placement voucher (AVGS for short, Section 45 SGB III) is a subsidy from the Employment Agency or the Job Center. It covers the costs of measures that improve your chances on the job market \u2013 for example, career orientation, application coaching, or the expansion of your professional and language skills. For you, this means: <strong>You pay nothing<\/strong>, the grant covers the full costs.<\/p>\n<h2>Who can get an AVGS?<\/h2>\n<p>An AVGS can generally be received by individuals who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>are registered as unemployed or jobseeking (with the job center or the employment agency),<\/li>\n<li>receiving B\u00fcrgergeld or unemployment benefits, or<\/li>\n<li>are at risk of unemployment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Important to know: The AVGS is a so-called discretionary benefit. Your contact person at the job center or employment agency decides whether you will receive it. A good argument during the discussion: The measure specifically improves your chances of getting a job.<\/p>\n<h2>In 4 steps to the subsidized course at DeLingvo<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Schedule an appointment<\/h3>\n<p>Schedule an appointment with your contact person at the Jobcenter or the Employment Agency and state that you would like to participate in an AVGS program\u2014for example, for career orientation or skills enhancement.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Apply for and receive AVGS<\/h3>\n<p>If your application is approved, you will be issued the voucher.
