What is a 'Bildungsgutschein'?
A 'Bildungsgutschein' (education voucher) is your ticket to a certified training course. Usually, the voucher covers all the costs of the training. You can take a course to enhance your skills in a certain career direction and improve your chances to get your dream job. So it is not only your way out of unemployment but might be also a way to a new career path.
Who is eligible for a 'Bildungsgutschein'?
-
You are currently employed but facing the possibility of unemployment -
You are currently unemployed and want to re-enter the job market -
You require further training or retraining in the absence of a relevant vocational qualification
How to apply for a 'Bildungsgutschein'?
First things first, you need to make an appointment with your local agent (Agentur für Arbeit or Jobcenter). If you haven’t been in touch with them before, you can find your local center simply by searching online, e.g. “Agentur für Arbeit Berlin” or “Agentur für Arbeit near me”.
Once you’ve got your appointment, you need to show your advisor at the job center how you could benefit from a training voucher—so it’s important to come prepared.

Overview of Verji SMC App
Main Screen
On the conversation screen the last message from or to the different correspondents are shown.
In the Conversations four menu options are available. From left to right:
Conversation
After a message is sent successfully a yellow ticks appears. After a message is delivered to an addressee a blue tick appears and when addressee read this message a green tick appears
If not successfully sent a user is also warned and should try sending again.
Note: if sending fails this is usually because Verji SMC couldn’t retrieve your dynamic encryption key fast enough from server due to network delays. Sending again usually solves this.
Compose Message
Phone Calls
On call screen the user can activate speaker or turn off microphone.
Attachments
Notifications
Receivers using the Verji SMC app are notified that a new message or incoming call is present on the server by a remote push notification. This remote notification is either an Apple Push Notification or an Android push notification, depending on the phone used.
When receiving a Verji Voice call you will first be notified by a push notification. On iPhones that are in “locked status” (sleep mode) a user has to “swipe” the notification first, then unlock the phone to be able to answer the incoming call.
Smart Watches
New message notifications are also sent to smartwatches (Android and Apple watch) but they will not display the content itself, this for security reasons. Watch notifications will only display sender and time received and will not be stored.
