With this voucher you commission companies to support you on your way to the job market.

In the latter case, you will attend coaching or a training course via AVGS to increase your job prospects.

You can only submit the AVGS to certified training providers such as GFN. This means that you can take part in a measure free of charge , provided that your contact person at the employment agency or job center has agreed to this in writing before you take part (notice of approval).

We have summarized all the relevant information about AVGS for you in our blog article.

AVGS coaching is solution-oriented advice and support in the form of regular meetings. These discussions take place between the coaching participant (coachee) and the coach. Professional and private topics can be discussed.

Our coaches are there for you throughout Germany - both online and in person at many GFN locations. Your individual coaching takes place online, in person on site or as a hybrid form (partly online, partly on site) - depending on which coaching suits you and how easily you can reach one of our locations.

Basically, you decide which topics should be covered in your coaching. In a preliminary meeting with your coach, you will discuss your coaching goals and jointly determine the individual topics and focal points.

Your individual coaching usually takes place twice a week over a period of one to six months. Your coach will arrange the weekly appointments (2 x 90 min.) with you.

A consultation is the easiest way to have a direct and effective exchange. Our qualified consultants will introduce you to the various coaching options and explain the coaching process to you. They take time for you and your questions and discuss with you what you could focus on in your coaching.

However, depending on the requirements of your funding agency, we are obliged to forward certain results to your contact person at the employment agency or job center. We will of course inform you about this before you start.
