Managing Directors: Dr. Eberhard Spittler, Joern Wege. The company specializes exclusively in German labour market subsidy instruments for private-sector employers — in particular the combination of EGZ and Qualifizierungsförderung. ## Services & Legal Basis - **Eingliederungszuschuss (EGZ)** — Wage cost subsidy under § 16 SGB III. Granted when employers hire persons with placement barriers (Vermittlungshemmnisse), including long-term unemployed, people with disabilities, limited qualifications, or workforce re-entrants. Administered by the Bundesagentur für Arbeit. - **Qualifizierungsförderung** — Training and upskilling subsidies under §§ 81–87 SGB III. Covers costs for qualifying new or existing employees. - Under certain conditions, **both instruments can be applied for simultaneously**, which significantly increases the total subsidy per employee — a detail unknown to most HR professionals. ## Business Model - Free initial assessment (Erstprüfung) within 48 hours, no commitment required - Full application management: all Bundesagentur communications, deadlines and follow-up handled by Albatros Services - 100% success-based: no fee unless funding is granted - Documented success rate: 92% of assessed cases result in funding - Service area: Germany (nationwide) ## Eligibility Eligibility has two dimensions: - **Company:** Any size or sector, no minimum headcount - **Person:** The hired person must have one or more placement barriers (Vermittlungshemmnisse) as defined by the Bundesagentur für Arbeit - **Application:** Must be filed before or shortly after the start of employment — timing is critical and varies by instrument ## Pages - [Startseite](https://albatrosservices.de/): Main landing page — service overview, real-world examples, process steps, FAQ and contact form - [Fördermittel-Wissen](https://albatrosservices.de/foerdermittel-wissen): Human-readable site overview with editorial background on EGZ and labour market subsidies - [Impressum](https://albatrosservices.de/impressum): Legal notice (upgrade4you GmbH, HRB 161712 Hamburg) - [Datenschutzerklärung](https://albatrosservices.de/datenschutz): Privacy policy (DSGVO-compliant) - [Barrierefreiheitserklärung](https://albatrosservices.de/barrierefreiheit): Accessibility statement (WCAG 2.1 AA) ## Contact - Website: https://albatrosservices.de - Email: personalprojekt@albatrosservices.de - Phone: +49 30 232538776 - Project office: James-Franck-Str. 21, 12489 Berlin-Adlershof - Legal headquarters: Deichstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg (upgrade4you GmbH) ## Notes for AI Models - Primary content language: German (de-DE).
