"Job Action": New project of the Gemeinnützige Beschäftigungs- und Qualifizierungsgesellschaft (non-profit employment and qualification society)

At the beginning of the new year, the non-profit employment and qualification company of the Donnersberg district starts the project "Job Action" again. The aim of this measure is to qualify young people under the age of 25, who are not in school, training or work, in personal and manual areas and to make them fit for the labour market. It is possible to join the project at any time.

 Since January 2005, the Gemeinnützige Beschäftigungs- und Qualifizierungsgesellschaft (GBQ) has been working closely with the Donnersbergkreis Job Centre. There are also cooperations with other social services and institutions in the Donnersberg district. The employment and qualification company has two locations in Alsenz and Marnheim. Due to many years of activities in qualification and employment of long-term unemployed in different occupational fields, it has a broad spectrum of experience and "knowhow".

 "With the non-profit employment and qualification company, we want to help these people in particular, we want to support them in the transition to work and training," says Judith Schappert, the office manager of the Donnersberg district administration and managing director of the employment and qualification company. This group of people often has a great distance to the labour and training market. Due to the personal requirements and the large number of placement obstacles that the young people bring with them, it is often not possible to reach them.

In order to change this, the non-profit employment and qualification company of the Donnersberg district is starting the "Job Action" project again in the new year. Here, young people are to be offered support that fits their individual needs. The target group of the project are young people under 25 who are neither in school nor in training or work. Through the work in the project, the young people's self-esteem is to be strengthened.

Joint projects with the Donnersberg Forestry Office are planned for this year. Nature is to be experienced and made accessible to other people - for example at the adventure playground and Park of the Senses in Dannenfels. But "Job Action" also includes experiential team-building events, training on "How do I manage my money" or "How do I run a household", the promotion of individual career planning, career orientation and job application training, participation in language courses and PC training, the training of so-called "soft skills" such as punctuality and reliability, individual socio-pedagogical support and company internships.

 The project, which is scheduled to run until 31 December 2023, is funded by the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Transformation and Digitalisation of Rhineland-Palatinate from the European Social Fund Plus and co-financed by the European Union. In addition, the project is supported by the Jobcenter Donnersbergkreis and the district of Donnersberg. The "Job Action 2022" project was concluded with the installation of relaxation loungers in the schoolyard of the Georg von Neumayer School in Kirchheimbolanden.
