Individual Coaching

Holistic support under Section 16k of SGB II

Since July 2023, job centers have been funding individual coaching sessions as part of comprehensive support services under Section 16k of Book II of the Social Code (SGB II). The aim of this funding is to provide tailored support to individuals with special needs—ranging from a detailed assessment of their current situation to the development of concrete prospects for training and employment.

What is comprehensive care under Section 16k of SGB II?

Comprehensive support under Section 16k of SGB II is a voluntary assistance program for eligible recipients who are capable of working, face particular challenges, and wish to improve their long-term prospects in the labor market.

It helps individuals overcome personal obstacles—whether psychosocial stress, health limitations, or financial difficulties—and gradually strengthen their employability.

Who is this personalized coaching suitable for?

Individual coaching as part of the comprehensive support program under Section 16k of SGB II is designed for people who have been unemployed for an extended period and wish to regain control of their lives, but still need to overcome significant personal challenges. These may include, for example:

The challenges of unemployment and career reorientation
Lack of support in caring for children or dependent family members
An overall highly demanding daily life that leaves little room for new tasks

If the idea of returning to work on top of all these challenges seems overwhelming right now, this coaching can help you develop new perspectives step by step—ones that are realistic, achievable, and right for you.

Focusing on the whole person—not just the next job

What is holistic care all about?

A holistic approach means that not only the job search is in focus, but the whole person with their challenges, strengths, and life circumstances.

Analysis of the current situation and development of suitable solutions
Strengthening personal resources
A realistic plan for professional reorientation

We work systemically and take relevant areas of life into account, such as emotional stability, social environment, and health. This creates clarity, a better way of dealing with obstacles, and a sustainable professional perspective.

Structured for professional and personal clarity

Topics for personalized coaching

Analysis
In a joint assessment, we examine the current situation and identify the biggest obstacles that are currently standing in the way of personal well-being and, consequently, fulfilling work.
Planning
Together with the coach, the goals of the coaching process are established, and the content and schedule of the collaboration are planned. This comprehensive support includes both individual coaching sessions and tasks designed to foster personal development in everyday life.
Identifying and nurturing strengths
Everyone has strengths. It’s just that in difficult situations, we often can’t tap into them. Our coaches help clients recognize what they’re really good at, what brings them joy, and how they can apply that in their daily and professional lives.

Individual coaching begins
Individual coaching takes place in person in Berlin. At the start, we’ll discuss the coaching process, among other things. We’ll schedule the individual sessions to fit well with your daily routine. The sessions for individual coaching can be spread out over a period of up to six months. The goal is to help you regain control of your life and successfully return to the workforce.
The holistic support ends – we take care of the billing.
Once we receive confirmation of coverage for the individual coaching, we will bill the Jobcenter directly. This means our clients do not have to worry about any paperwork.
