Assisted training flexible [AsAflex]
The AsAflex instrument has been available as a support service for young people and their training companies since spring 2021 with the preliminary phase and since autumn 2021 with the accompanying phase.
In this context, the previous offers of training-accompanying assistance [abH] and assisted training [AsA alt] will be merged to form flexible assisted training [AsA flex].
AsAflex can be carried out in two phases – the preliminary phase, which takes place at some locations, is optional, while the accompanying phase is a mandatory project component at all AsAflex locations.
