The Wiesbadener Servicestelle Deutsch (WSD) is an open and neutral first point of contact for questions relating to German language support for immigrants, companies and their employees in Wiesbaden.

It works independently of educational institutions and is aimed at people of all ages, regardless of their level of education or residence status, who need information on German language courses in Wiesbaden. Professionals can also contact the service center.

Since November 2024, the advice center has also been offering a comprehensive employer service for companies and institutions that employ or recruit employees from abroad. The aim is to specifically promote employees' German language skills for the language requirements in the workplace.

The "Network Q 4.0" creates a nationwide qualification standard for vocational training personnel in the digital transformation. The training courses impart specialist knowledge, social skills and modern teaching methods for the training of tomorrow.

To ensure that training meets the requirements of the digital transformation, companies need trainers who convey specialist content and skills clearly, practically and comprehensibly. New production, control and communication systems also require modern teaching methods and innovative learning content.

The Q 4.0 network offers:

• industry-specific and cross-industry training courses for digital technical and social skills as well as methodological knowledge
• Regional specialist and information events for networking companies and training providers; qualification measures for vocational training staff

In Hesse, the Bildungswerk der Hessischen Wirtschaft e.V. runs the project in the regions of Kassel, Giessen/Fulda and Wiesbaden. Regular exchange and networking events take place. The Hessian Q 4.0 network also offers free cross-industry training courses for company trainers.

The basic education center of the Volkshochschule Wiesbaden (vhs) offers reading and writing courses for German-speaking adults who need support in improving their basic education.

Reading and writing problems are often a taboo subject. Those affected need courage to accept help. The basic education center offers them individual advice and support as well as tailor-made reading and writing courses

As part of the Hessian ProAbschluss initiative, qualified education coaches support employees in all matters relating to further vocational training and upskilling. The aim is to provide employees with targeted support on their career path through individual advice and coaching - be it through post-qualification as a specialist or through upskilling to the next career step.

In the state capital of Wiesbaden, the education coaches from FRESKO e.V. are at your side - free of charge, neutral and individual. They provide both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their employees with comprehensive advice on further training opportunities and financial support options. From the initial consultation to the successful completion of a qualification measure, they accompany the entire process with tailor-made solutions.

Recognition advice for qualifications acquired abroad as part of the IQ network in the "IQ - Integration through Qualification" funding program is aimed at people who have acquired their professional or academic qualifications abroad.

It helps immigrants on the path to recognition of their professional or academic qualifications acquired abroad and provides information on the relevant authorities, necessary documents, necessary steps and qualification options or supports the development of professional alternatives. If necessary, it will refer you to the relevant specialist offices.
