Regional Transition Management (RÜM)

Municipal territorial bodies in Baden-Württemberg can receive grants for the establishment and management of a Regional Transition Management (RÜM). The goal is to improve the transition from school to work for young people through the coordination of regional actors and activities.

Personnel and material expenses for the establishment and operation of a regional transition management (RÜM) in Baden-Württemberg are funded. The program supports activities for moderating, coordinating, and managing regional processes in the transition from school to work, including vocational orientation and the introduction of specific educational pathways.

The program offers grants for personnel and material costs within the framework of the Regional Transition Management (RÜM). The maximum grant is up to 70% of eligible personnel expenses and up to €5,000 for material expenses, with a maximum total funding of €82,000 per regional transition management. Funding is available until August 31, 2025, and allows for continuous application.

Specific legal and conceptual prerequisites must be met for funding within the Regional Transition Management framework. These include binding committee resolutions from the participating municipalities, the submission of a coherent overall concept for project implementation, detailed qualification certificates of the personnel employed, and comprehensive cost and financing plans. There are also clear guidelines for budgeting and the exclusion of certain expenses.

Applications for the Regional Transition Management are informal and must be submitted at least six weeks before the start of the planned measure. The selection of funding applications is carried out by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism in close coordination with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports.

The funding program "Regional Transition Management" is based on the "Funding Regional Transition Management" leaflet from March 31, 2023. This guideline is founded on the unanimously adopted reconceptualization of the transition from school to work by the Baden-Württemberg Training Alliance from 2013 and is regulated by the State Budget Code.
