8. Organization and Funding The idea was kicked off by the German employment agency, about 20 years ago. This idea still forms the general framework of the project. At the moment there are 69 apprentices under contract. There are never any vacancies. The employment agency finances the training and coaching in case they consider a person suitable. Education institutes make their bids and the agency decides who will perform the project in a certain year. The students receive “Ausbildungsvergütung” (an apprenticeship pay) directly from the agency which is a customized sum for everyone. The institution charges an attendance fee for every participant, also paid by the agency. Funding is granted for 1-2 years, or how long the measurement lasts for each individual student. 4
