The City of Aachen's youth vocational assistance supports young people in their integration into the world of work and in the transition from school to work. Its work is based on the legal requirements of § 13 SGB VIII. The aim of youth vocational assistance is to help young people broaden their life prospects, strengthen their social and practical skills and enable a successful transition into training or work.
Close cooperation with schools, the employment agency, the job center, the Aachen Chamber of Crafts and other relevant partners ensures comprehensive support for the target groups. Of course, all advisory services are also available to parents, teachers, trainers and other institutions in order to provide the best possible support and guidance for young people.

Support
Through our counseling and support services, we offer young people the opportunity to develop a tailor-made follow-up perspective after leaving school and accompany them on this path.
