Our programs

There are people who often fall too quickly through the grid in the usual application process, even though they are highly motivated. To help them integrate into the labour market they can enter a next access program. The national programs are financed by the Social Impact Fund, which is run with the help of private and institutional capital.

Neue Arbeit Stuttgart

Germany

“I was living on the streets as a drug-addicted homeless person. A social worker told me, ‘You need therapy, a place to live and a job.’ I found employment at the Kulturwerk der Neuen Arbeit and trained as an event technician. Today I have a permanent job as a sound technician in a renowned concert hall. I’m off the streets, off drugs, earning my own money and no longer on welfare. I’m very grateful for that.”
