Promoting professional integration

Aroundtown Foundation supports JOBLINGE with donation for coworking space for refugees from Ukraine

The Aroundtown Foundation is once again supporting the non-profit organization JOBLINGE in Berlin. This year, financial support will be used to promote the coworking space project, which was developed specifically for refugees from Ukraine and will take place in Berlin-Friedrichshain.

The coworking space project for refugees from Ukraine provides a safe place to work and get career guidance, while children are cared for and educated by a Ukrainian teacher. With this initiative, JOBLINGE aims to empower children to attend German schools and give parents the opportunity to pursue a career and participate in programs for professional integration.

JOBLINGE is particularly committed to helping younger people who have difficult starting conditions in the labor market. Through comprehensive qualification, volunteer mentoring and support during training, sustainable job opportunities and solid integration into the labor market and society are created. JOBLINGE offers valuable support, especially during the time when people are searching for a suitable career start. The organization helps with the preparation of application documents, prepares for job interviews and offers support throughout the training, including overcoming problems that may arise during this time.
