The education voucher explained in an understandable way
The “Arbeit-von-Morgen-Gesetz” has expanded opportunities for funding. For the first time, the Qualification Opportunities Act gives you a legal right to further education guidance in an existing employment relationship. In the past, subsidized further education was only possible if you were already unemployed. The Federal Government’s qualification offensive gives you the chance to prevent unemployment in times of rapid structural change due to digitalization. This allows you to improve your employability, especially with regard to the digital transformation, while avoiding gaps in your CV.
