InteSA

Next dates: rolling entry is possible

Are you a social worker or social pedagogue and have obtained your university degree abroad? With the "InteSA" project, we support you on your way into social work/educational professions.

To this end, we work with you personally to assess which qualifications you already have and which skills you still need in order to obtain state recognition as a social worker in Germany as quickly as possible. We then support you in acquiring the missing knowledge with individual counselling services and part-time training courses. The free qualification programme, which is supported by the International Center and the Institute for Social Work and Social Pedagogy, is held in German.

Further qualification programmes:

• Individual counselling on qualification measures and career prospects
• Support in the process of state recognition for social workers in Germany.

Participation in the continuing education programmes is free of charge.

Please register by e-mail to intesa@leuphana.de.

The following documents must be submitted when applying for the programme starting in May 2025:

• Translated degree certificate in Social Work and the transcript of records
• Language certificate B2 or higher (if available)
• Curriculum vitae
• Work references, translated if necessary 

The aim of the project is to offer foreign skilled workers tailored support to pave their way into the German labour market. Through targeted networking events and exchanges with practice partners, participants are prepared not only professionally but also practically for their professional future in Germany in order to be able to take up employment appropriate to their qualifications.

With the InteSA project, we want to make a valuable contribution to overcoming the glaring shortage of skilled workers in the field of social work by creating an integrative environment in which foreign skilled workers can realise their full potential.
