Legal Career Options Expand Through New Job Opportunities at Employment Agency
In North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), the justice service offers a range of training and entry opportunities for those seeking a career in the middle and senior levels. One such pathway is the dual study program, a combination of academic studies and practical training.
On Thursday, December 12th, at 4:30 PM, the BIZ Wuppertal event in Bergisches Land will present these opportunities and more. Interested individuals can attend Hünefeldstr. 10a to learn about training and study options in the justice system of NRW. For questions about the event, please contact the BIZ staff at 0202 / 2828 - 460.
The dual study program, located in Bad Münstereifel, lasts for three years. It prepares graduates for middle or senior level roles by blending theoretical legal education with hands-on experience within courts, public prosecutor offices, or justice administration departments. Diplom-Verwaltungswirte, graduates of this program, are active in all areas of a justice service facility, shaping accommodation, supply, care, and work of inmates, and ensuring smooth cooperation between staff to maintain security and order in the justice service institution.
For the middle service level, the usual entry is through a vocational training program combined with practical work experience in judicial institutions. Candidates often start with foundational legal or administrative training, leading to roles such as justice assistants or court clerks.
For the senior service level, entry typically requires a university degree in law plus successful completion of the first and second state examinations, which qualify candidates for roles like judges, prosecutors, or senior administrative officers.
Requirements to apply for these programs generally include:
- For the dual study program: A higher education entrance qualification, such as Abitur or Fachhochschulreife, and eligibility to study law or related fields.
- For senior level entry: A law degree and passing the first state exam; after practical legal traineeship, passing the second state exam.
- For middle level entry: Usually a secondary school leaving certificate suitable for vocational training in the justice sector.
Specific details on application procedures and exact eligibility can be obtained from the NRW Ministry of Justice or respective regional justice service websites, which provide official announcements about recruitment and training programs.
It's important to note that the justice service is more than just locking up inmates; it involves caring for inmates around the clock and reintegrating them into society after their release. Work after training is varied depending on the service direction, with officers supervising and caring for inmates, training them in various professions, working in nursing and care, or in the supply of inmates.
Last year, over 230 new recruits were hired in the middle and senior levels across the state, and a similar number is expected this year. For those interested in a new career path in the justice service, this could be an exciting opportunity. However, the maximum age for training is 40, and for the dual study program, candidates must not be 39 years old at the time of admission.
For questions about the training and study opportunities, please contact the Recruitment Advisory Office for the Justice System at 0202 / 9457 - 2020 or by email at [email protected]. After the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.
In conclusion, the justice service in NRW offers a variety of training and entry opportunities for those seeking a career in the middle and senior levels. Whether you're interested in the dual study program or traditional vocational training, there's a pathway that could suit your skills and ambitions.
