Project Practical Training 50

Project Practical Training 50 (German: PP50) is an initiative for decreasing unemployment in Vorarlberg and is carried out by the mandates of the Job Market Service (German: AMS) of Vorarlberg, the State of Vorarlberg and the Industrial Federation of Vorarlberg.

We are always looking for internship and on-the-job training opportunities with Vorarlberg businesses. They should be concerned with a company’s activities that are not otherwise dealt with within the enterprise with the aim of accomplishing a project. A business plans the project for a duration of three months. Projects are temporary tasks. MERLIN Business Consulting recruit the suitable trainees (usually young people up to 25 years of age and people over 50 years old who are looking for employment) and oversees the project to the end.

For the enterprise this is not considered official employment and thus no bureaucratic expenditures are incurred! The trainees are locked into only a practical training agreement with the company. The trainees are covered for all social and accidental insurance through the Job Market Service (German: AMS) of Vorarlberg.

One trainee costs your business € 900, - - for three months. The full amount is billed at the end of the project. Trainees receive a monthly stipend of € 300,-- in addition to their unemployment benefits (stipends are not considered income under the social welfare laws).

The advantages are obvious:

Businesses profit, since they can realize potential yield because tasks, which were not otherwise completed, are finished.

The people involved benefit from it, because they return to the workplace with the chance of gaining a permanent position.

Businesses and job seekers who are interested in such practical training courses should contact Merlin by calling 0043 / 5572 / 52800 or email at: buero@merlin-ub.at.
