    As in all federal states, the nationwide minimum training allowance has applied in Brandenburg since the beginning of 2020. As a result, every young person now knows what he or she will earn as a minimum during training:


    Nationwide minimum training allowance from 2020
     

    • 515 €   in 1. year of vocational training (2021: 550 €; 2022: 585 €; 2023: 620 €)
    • 608 €   in 2. year of vocational training (or 18 per cent more than in the 1st apprenticeship year.)
    • 695 €   in 3. year of vocational training (or 35 per cent more than in the 1st apprenticeship year.)
    • 721 €   in 4. year of vocational training (or 40 per cent more than in the 1st apprenticeship year.)


    Since these are minimum amounts, the training allowances are also higher in some cases. In contrast to studying, young people can thus stand on their own two feet at an early stage. At the same time, an apprenticeship in Brandenburg opens up a variety of career paths and thus also future earning opportunities. Where skilled workers are scarce, responsibility can quickly be taken on within the company, including the possibility of taking over the business.

    Those who complete their training to the end have excellent prospects of success in Brandenburg: on average, almost 90 percent of trainees pass their final examinations here. This is due to committed company trainers, modern vocational schools and the professional work of the chambers, inter-company training centres and other training service providers. 

    Brandenburg's companies score points for their high rates of hiring trainees after they have completed their training. Otherwise there is help with placement in qualified employment. Training in Brandenburg thus offers a reliable entry into the world of work.

    Those who already have previous experience (e.g. from a course of study they have started) or who have the Abitur can significantly shorten their training - this is also still far too little known.
