I'm going to do an apprenticeship soon, so you absolutely need a laptop, my question would be whether the job center would do it. (Lower Saxony)
Since every social benefit is generally subject to a subordinate principle, priority options must also be used here. In this case, according to Paragraph 14 Paragraph 1 No. 3 BiG, the trainee is obliged to provide the trainee with all necessary training resources free of charge.
This means that if the laptop is really necessary for the apprenticeship, the apprentice company must provide it. This would also be a priority option due to legal requirements.
You might have to discuss this with your case manager!
If the training company confirms the need for you, I think it is possible that you can be given a loan to buy a computer.
You just have to find out more from the job center responsible for you.
What kind of training is that? This can't be answered in general.
Your training company must provide you with a laptop if this is necessary for your professional training. But please note: This does not make the laptop your property, so keep an eye on it.
Then this must be made available by the company that is training.
If you receive remuneration during your apprenticeship and this purchase would actually be necessary, increased operationally necessary expenses could possibly be at least partially deducted.
