Bochum Apprentices: Check Your Eligibility for Vocational Training Allowance

The Bochum Employment Agency has reminded apprentices about the vocational training allowance, a funding opportunity to help with living spaces costs. Around 7,250 apprentices in Bochum may be eligible for this support, which can cover rent, transport, or food expenses.

Apprentices who have moved out and have insufficient income can apply for this allowance. However, those living with their parents typically do not qualify for full benefits, as the agency assumes family members contribute to their living spaces costs. Requirements for the allowance may include being of legal age, living with a partner, and having children. An online calculator is available on the agency's website to check eligibility. The IG BAU union has highlighted this opportunity at the start of the training year.

Bochum apprentices are encouraged to explore this funding opportunity to help with their living expenses. Those living independently and with insufficient income are particularly urged to apply. The vocational training allowance can make a significant difference in supporting apprentices during their training.
