KV qualification in your pocket, but no job? How clerk training courses can help

A commercial degree alone does not always guarantee direct entry into professional life, especially without professional experience. Clerical courses or a CHE course in business administration offer the opportunity to specialize in a targeted manner, build up practical expertise and significantly improve your chances on the job market.

Many people who have completed a commercial apprenticeship (KV) face a challenge after their apprenticeship: finding the right job is often more difficult than expected - especially if they lack professional experience.

In such cases, it is worth taking a course for clerks.

In such cases, a clerk course can be a good option. These continuing education, further training courses make it possible to deepen your knowledge in a specific area without professional experience and thus significantly increase your own chances on the job market.

Popular specializations include:

  • Marketing and sales
  • Human resources
  • Accounting
  • Social insurances
  • Fiduciary
  • Real estate

With a specialization, you lay the thematic foundation for your career entry.

If you don't want to commit to one area early on, you can also complete a CHE course in business administration.

  • Provides comprehensive business management knowledge
  • Opens up a broader field of activity
  • Offers the opportunity to prepare for leading positions in the long term

During your training as a clerk - or at the latest after graduation - you will demonstrate specific specialist knowledge in your chosen field. This is a clear advantage over competitors without additional training.

Employers will immediately recognize that you have the necessary knowledge and skills for the position.

Clerk courses are offered by numerous training providers and conclude with either the school's own certificate or an association certificate (e.g. from kvedupool or VSK).

Which degree offers better opportunities on the job market depends on the chosen field and industry.
