Building bridges between talent and opportunity.
ISG supports international candidates and German training companies in creating sustainable professional opportunities — with quality, transparency and long-term thinking.
Quality matters more than the number of introductions.
Young people need honest guidance, thorough preparation and reliable support. Companies need suitable candidates, transparent processes and contacts who remain available beyond the day of arrival.
The goal is to help build training relationships that work professionally, personally and for the long term.
Five principles behind the ISG approach.
Communicate opportunities, requirements and limitations honestly.
Consider motivation, documents, language ability and personal suitability.
Explain services, responsibilities, costs and process stages clearly.
Treat applicants and companies as equal partners throughout the process.
Prioritise successful training and integration over a quick contract.
Questions before you begin.
Clear answers help applicants plan realistically.
Yes. German is spoken in the workplace, vocational school and examinations. In most cases, at least B1-level German is expected. Depending on the occupation or company, B2 may be helpful or required.
No. The training company alone decides whether to offer you a vocational training contract. ISG supports guidance, preparation, communication and organisation.
No. Visa and residence permit decisions are made exclusively by the responsible authorities.
During company-based dual vocational training, the training company pays a monthly training allowance. The amount depends on occupation, year of training, sector and any applicable collective agreement.
Organisational assistance with an accommodation search may be available depending on the location and agreed service scope. Specific accommodation cannot be guaranteed.
You may state preferences. Options depend on available training places, your profile and the company’s selection decision.
Questions from German training companies.
Candidates whose educational background, motivation, language ability and career goals appear broadly compatible with your requirements. Your company remains responsible for assessing suitability and making the final decision.
The candidate’s current level should be shown transparently. B1 is generally expected in many company-based vocational training routes; some occupations require more.
The timeframe depends on selection, language ability, documentation, administrative processing, visa procedure and intended starting date. Starting early is recommended.
The company and candidate make this decision independently. ISG facilitates introductions and supports the process.
Yes, if included in the agreed service. The first weeks are particularly important for orientation, communication and integration.
No. The responsible authorities alone make that decision. Organisational preparation and communication can be supported, but an official outcome cannot be guaranteed.
