AVGS and training voucher: two paths that are often mixed up
Coaching often runs via AVGS, occupational training often via a Bildungsgutschein. The rules differ — and neither is automatic.
The activation and placement voucher (AVGS) can fund coaching or activation measures if your responsible office approves it. There is no legal entitlement.
The training voucher (Bildungsgutschein) concerns approved occupational further training. Here too, the Employment Agency or Jobcentre decides in each case. The measure must be approved and valid.
Holistic support under §16k SGB II is a separate path and does not fall under AVGS. In an initial meeting we help distinguish the routes — without promising approval.
