Sicherheitsmitarbeiter training 34a oder Lagerhelfer

Guten Tag,

I got an admission confirmation for (IHK-certified safety specialist §34a) with letter of Job offer as Security Guard (after completion of training). I have completed B-1 und having a Master degree in Environmental Science with 15 years of working experience in NGO sector in Pakistan (worked with International NGOs e.g. Islamic Relief, ACTED, IRC, Qatar Charity in different leadership role). I am waiting for Asy. results even after 16 months. I am also getting the job offer from personaldienste GmbH (Recruitment agencies) as Lagerhelfer (temporary jobs). I want to choose the carrier which can benefit my Asy. case as well. Please need advice;

- I am also registered with Bendesagenture fur Arbeit as Job seeker with Customer number. Can i get the  Bildungsgutschein for this security training 34a? 

- What Job to prioritize between these two? with comparative analysis for my future perspective as well.

Thanks,

Ali

Hi @Ali024 , thank you for your inquiry. These answers are provisional, as we do not know your exact situation and cannot give legal advice.
It is understandable that in your current situation you want to make a well-considered decision about your professional path in Germany. The choice between the IHK-certified training as a Sicherheitsmitarbeiter according to § 34a GewO and the activity as a Lagerhelfer has different implications, both for your professional future and possibly for your asylum case.
About the Bildungsgutschein: Yes, in principle, it is possible to receive a Bildungsgutschein for the training. As far as we know the preparation courses for the § 34a GewO are AZAV-certified and can therefore be financed through a Bildungsgutschein from the Agentur für Arbeit or the Jobcenter. As a registered job seeker with a customer number at the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and B1 certificate, you are generally eligible, provided that the training is necessary for your integration into the labour market. (Please note: the final decision on the issuance of the Bildungsgutschein is individual and lies with your responsible case worker at the Agentur für Arbeit.)
About your decision regarding the job offers: Both options offer a way into the German labour market but pursue different strategies. Taking into account your many years of leadership experience and your Master's degree, we recommend that you prioritise the training to become a Sicherheitsmitarbeiter, provided you can obtain the Bildungsgutschein. The § 34a qualification is a door opener into a future-proof sector with clearly defined career opportunities. It can serve as a stable professional restart that suits your previous experience better than the job as a Lagerhelfer. It also sends a signal to the BAMF. Starting a qualified training with a firm job commitment shows your willingness to integrate and your ability to provide for yourself in the long term. Starting an unqualified job as a Lagerhelfer might give you a job faster and also shows integration and willingness to sustain yourself financially but offers little basis for long-term career development in comparison to the job as a Sicherheitsmitarbeiter.
We would recommend you to make an appointment with the Bundesagentur für Arbeit and present the job offer from the security company and the confirmation of admission to the training. Explain that this is your first step towards qualified and long-term employment that will secure your livelihood. To gain more information we recommend contacting a migration advice center.

What can you do next? 

 

I hope this information is helpful for you.

Kind regards, Yasmin
