This is not a job offer, it’s a career-changing opportunity.

We’re launching a 3-month full-time HR Weiterbildung, fully funded by the Agentur für Arbeit for people who are eligible to receive unemployment benefits and a Bildungsgutschein.

If you’ve been thinking about working in HR or People & Culture — especially in startups or growing companies — this is your chance to gain the skills, confidence, and support to get started.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for curious, motivated individuals who want to transition into the world of HR/People & Culture.

Whether you’re:

• exploring a career change,
• job seeking with a background in something else (education, admin, hospitality, etc.),
• or simply always the “people person” in your team...

…this program is for you.

Tasks

What you’ll learn

Over 3 months, you’ll explore the entire employee lifecycle through 9 core modules with real-world examples, expert sessions, and hands-on assignments:

• Introduction to HR - understand HR’s evolving role, the generalist mindset, and how it all plays out in fast-paced, dynamic companies.
• Recruiting & Talent acquisition - learn how to write inclusive job ads, structure hiring processes, run interviews, and build a strong employer brand.
• Onboarding & Employee engagement - explore how to design onboarding journeys that foster connection, belonging, and productivity, and what really drives engagement.
• Performance management & Learning & development - get tools for setting goals, giving feedback, supporting growth, and creating a learning culture even without a big budget.
• Compensation, benefits & total rewards - grasp the basics of fair pay, salary bands, non-monetary benefits, and the connection between rewards and motivation.
• Exit, offboarding & culture transformation - understand what good offboarding looks like, and how exits impact culture, change, and future hiring.
• HR Compliance & Legal foundations - learn employment types, probation, termination, and what HR needs to know about German labor law (explained simply).

💬 Plus:

• Real-world case studies
• Sessions led by experienced HR professionals
• Job search support (CVs, interviews, networking) to help you land your first People & Culture role
