fitforjob SB - Durchstarten und zurück ins Berufsleben

The city of Duisburg is facing a higher-than-average unemployment rate concerning disabled persons since many years. By means of the labour-market related project „fitforjob SB“, the executing organisations are willing to initiate a turnaround of the previous trend. By combining usual employee benefits based upon the german social security code (SGB I & III) with socially acceptable Time-Work, new ways for entry and continuance of disabled persons in occupation shall be created. To achieve this goal, it is intended to pursue an approach with special emphasis on practical experience under economic conditions, where the START Time-Work company will be the main character responsible for addressing potential employers for the projects participants. By gaining the START company - an independent part of the economy - as second project executing organisation besides jobcenter Duisburg, we are expecting improved access to the labour market and its employers by adressing them at eye level without setting the expertise and employee benefits which can be provided by jobcenter aside at the same time. The absolute focus of „fitforjob SB“ on placing it`s participants in the regular employment market rather than in subsidised employment is underlined by ambitious annual target numbers.
