There are several government funding schemes available to support your professional development in foreign languages. These schemes offer targeted financial incentives to make your training affordable and to broaden your individual career prospects.
An overview of funding opportunities
- Activation and Placement Voucher
An Activation and Placement Voucher (AVGS) is issued to jobseekers or unemployed people by the Employment Agency or the Jobcentre to enable them to be integrated into the labour market as quickly and sustainably as possible.
inlingua Lübeck offers two certified programmes that are funded by the AVGS:
- One-to-one language training (German, English, Danish)
so that, through one-to-one training, they can quickly acquire professionally relevant language skills in English, German or Danish.

If you already have an employment or apprenticeship contract for a new job but still face obstacles relating to technical language, intercultural issues or organisational matters, one-to-one coaching may be an option for you. This is aimed primarily at migrants who need help settling into a new job or apprenticeship, or who are still on probation in their new job and are worried they might not pass.

Have you successfully completed your integration course and/or already reached Level B1? If so, you may be eligible for funding for work-related language modules if you are a migrant or refugee who is either looking for work or currently employed.
We offer the B2 and C1 modules, as well as the specialised C1 module for academic healthcare professions. Find out more
