Coaching Description

Being laid off in Germany is disorienting, especially for international professionals who don't understand their rights, financial support, or how to strategically use this transition period. Many highly qualified AEC professionals panic, rush their job search, or miss critical benefits and reskilling opportunities that could accelerate their return to employment with better terms.

Germany's unemployment system, Agentur für Arbeit, and government support programs are designed to help you — but only if you know how to access them. This transition period can become your strongest advantage: time to upskill, strengthen your positioning, and secure better compensation with your next employer.

This 1-on-1 coaching is designed for international AEC professionals facing a layoff who want expert guidance. You work directly with a professional who understands both the German unemployment system and AEC careers.

Together, we ensure you understand your complete rights and financial support, register properly with Agentur für Arbeit, identify free reskilling opportunities, and build a strategic job search plan that positions you stronger than before. You don't just find a new job — you leverage this transition to secure better roles and compensation.

Every recommendation is tailored specifically to your situation. You understand your rights, your options, and how to move forward with confidence.

Coaching Process

The coaching process will be tailored fully to your needs and timeline. Here is an example of a coaching agenda:

1. 1:1 Pre-coaching Situation Assessment session
   You will have an initial session where the coach will conduct a detailed review of your layoff circumstances, financial situation, visa status (if applicable), and career goals — ensuring all guidance is personalized to your situation.
   
2. First 1:1 coaching session: Know your Rights & Support Navigation
   In this session, you will get a comprehensive walkthrough of your rights during unemployment, how to register with Agentur für Arbeit, what financial support you qualify for, and special considerations for visa holders.
3. Second 1:1 coaching session: Strategic Reskilling & Job Search Planning
   This is a deep dive into free professional development opportunities, AEC certifications worth pursuing. Furthermore, you will get to know how to address the layoff strategically in interviews and how to negotiate better terms in your next role.
4. Independent Action Phase
   You implement your personalized action plan: registering for benefits, enrolling in training programs, and beginning your strategic job search with full clarity.
   
5. Third 1:1 session: Final Checkpoint Session (optional)
   This is a follow-up session to answer questions, confirm your direction, and ensure you're maximizing all available support.
6. Receive your detailed instructions + a Bonus PDF Guide
   You will be sent your detailed instructions and action steps in PDF format. Additionally, you will receive a valuable Bonus PDF Guide tailored to your situation. 
   
7. Any follow-up questions? 
   You can contact your coach via email for up to 6 months after the coaching to clear any questions regarding your lay-off and further opportunities.
