The Black level is an all-inclusive membership. It is worth switching to the Black level as soon as you start paid training or work, as it accumulates the employment condition for the unemployment fund. To accumulate the right to earnings-related unemployment allowance in case of unemployment, you need 12 months of employment. As a Black level member, you can also accumulate this through part-time or summer jobs, either in full or half months.
Due to the membership requirements of the unemployment fund, joining as a Black level member requires a valid employment relationship. You cannot join the fund during unpaid work experience.
Gold level is the most popular membership tier among BBA students, and for good reason! At the Gold level, you get comprehensive benefits and services that help you with your expertise, job hunting, and the first steps of your career.
Silver membership is free of charge and the benefits are available for 18 months from the date of joining.
Do you want more support for your career and more significant benefits? As a BBA student, you can easily upgrade your membership level and ensure you get the best possible services to support your professional life already during your studies.
