Voluntary services
Voluntary Social Year (FSJ)
Young women and men aged between 16 and 26 have the opportunity to volunteer for social work after completing their compulsory full-time schooling. The FSJ is a good opportunity to try out a professional field and thus qualify for the labour market. The FSJ can be recognised as an internship or waiting period in many social studies and training courses.
