Subsection 2: Trainees

Trainees at company centres are recruited either from the company’s own staff or from candidates put forward by the public employment service. Collective centre trainees are recruited from among candidates put forward by the public employment service.

Entry to the course is subject to a medical and psycho-technical examination organised or supervised by the public employment service.

The remuneration paid by the vocational training centre to the jobseeker replaces the allowance paid in this respect. The trainee is obliged to follow the training course until it ends. A trainee who abandons the training course for reasons that are not recognised as valid is excluded from receiving unemployment benefit for a period of one year from the date of his/her departure.
