You can obtain a residence permit for the purpose of looking for a training place if you would like to complete qualified vocational training in Germany but have not yet found a training place. Qualified vocational training is defined as vocational training in a state-recognized or comparable regulated occupation that lasts at least 2 years.
You should be under the age of 35 and must be able to support yourself and pay your health insurance without claiming public benefits.
You can take up employment of up to 20 hours per week during your stay. Trial employment is possible for up to two weeks.

The residence permit to look for a training place to carry out qualified vocational training is limited in time. It can be issued for a maximum of 9 months.
