With training you have good chances of finding a job. There are two classical models of training:
1. Dual training:
The training takes place at a company and a vocational college. There are around 330 professions that can be learned in Germany. The training lasts from 2-3 or 5 years. Once a month you receive payment from your training company.
2. College training:
You can also train for a profession at a vocational college. There you study full time. At some colleges, it is also possible to study part-time. Certain professions can only be studied there.
(2) Work
You want to earn money and are looking for a job. In the German system, a recognised qualification is important. This could, for example, be apprenticeship (or training course) or an academic qualification. With this, you have good chances of finding a job. You can also work without any training or qualifications. You can find information and advice at the Hannover employment agency or at the regional job centre for Hannover.
(3) Residence document
In your residence document it states what kind of residence status you have. This is the permit allowing refugees to live in Germany. Please ask at the immigration authorities whether you can work or do an apprenticeship or training course with your residence status. Or ask at the responsible authorities, such as the employment agency.
(4) Proof entry for asylum seekers
Every refugee receives this pass document at the initial reception centre on entering the country, if he has not yet applied for asylum.
(5) Granting residence permission

(7) Residence permit
A refugee can live in Germany for a limited time with a residence permit. It allows you to work and may be extended as long as the permitting circumstances still apply.
