The teamwork workshops

The vocational training area of the Teamwork workshops offers support when starting out in working life.

The workshop has a wide range of workplaces and places to carry out suitable activities in order to take into account the type and severity of the disability, the different abilities, development opportunities, aptitude and inclination of the employees. As far as possible, the workplaces and jobs correspond to those on the general labor market.

When designing the workplaces and work processes, the special needs of the employees are taken into account as far as possible in order to enable them to perform economically viable work.

The possible transition of employees to the general labor market is supported by appropriate measures. Temporary outsourced workplaces and external workplaces in companies in the general labor market are provided for this purpose.

Jobs are available in landscape conservation, the guest house, the elderly care area, the residents' living areas and the central kitchen of the Evangelische Stiftung Neinstedt. There are also external workplaces in various companies in the Harz region.
