Language Cheques: Matching in French, Dutch or English

Jobseekers from Brussels who are offered a job offer or a first internship via Select Actiris or who are starting as self-employed have a better chance of succeeding if they follow free private language lessons in French, Dutch or English with 'Matching Cheques'

In a 'Matching Course', the student and coach decide the topics together. The content is literally 'matched' with the language requirements of the new job. In this way we make maximum use of the available teaching hours.

Students can bring their own material, such as work documents, with which to practise during the lessons. Every task of the job can be covered. The teaching material can be adapted and expanded. In such a course you prepare for the real-life scenarios of your workplace.

Based on the information about your job and your description of the work, the teacher will propose a 'course contract', a curriculum of content and the lesson structure .You will be are asked to sign it as a kind of moral commitment.

The 'Matching cheques' are 100% financed by Actiris. Usually these are 2 cheques for 20 hours of training, 40 hours in total. The individual lessons may be taken during the first six months of the new job of after registering as self-employed. If an employer recruits several new employees at the same time, group courses may also be organized in the company.
