Common verbs used with 'Ausbildungsplatz' (training position) describe the whole process: 'suchen' (to look for), 'finden' (to find), or 'bekommen' (to get) a training position, or, as a company, 'anbieten' (to offer) and 'schaffen' (to create) one.

place / position
'die Stelle' and 'der Ausbildungsplatz' can both mean a position in a company or organization. However, 'die Stelle' is more general: it can be a normal work position for an employee. 'der Ausbildungsplatz' is more specific and means a position for someone doing vocational training there. Learners may confuse the words because you can apply for both. When it is about a completed professional position, 'Stelle' fits better. When it is about training after school or a vocational occupation, 'Ausbildungsplatz' is more precise.
