The special situation of single parents has an individual impact on their chances of entering the labour market. Possible obstacles can be, just like the additional care effort for minor children, also a possible lack of qualifications of the respective legal guardians.

The Jobcenter supports you as a single parent in the long term, taking your interests and resources into account. A comprehensive range of assistance services, which correspond to your special circumstances, creates the basis for improving professional qualifications. 
If you are interested, please contact your responsible counsellor at the Jobcenter.
